Sharjah 24: More than 20 entities from across the private and public sectors have joined Pink Caravan’s campaign, reinforcing their role in supporting breast cancer awareness and early detection in the UAE.

Organised annually by the Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP), the initiative continues to grow as companies and organisations align their corporate social responsibility efforts with nationwide public health goals, offering free screenings and mobilising resources during Pink October.

Sponsors

Platinum sponsor Crescent Petroleum, the first and oldest private upstream oil and gas company in the Middle East, is contributing to the campaign and its various activities. Arada, the Sharjah-based developer of residential and commercial communities, is providing the event space at Aljada for the Pink Caravan's community event over three days.

Ellington Properties, Dubai’s lifestyle curator and design-led boutique developer, joins as a Gold Sponsor, reinforcing its dedication to community well-being and health awareness across the UAE. Arabian Automobiles Company, the automotive arm of AW Rostamani Group and the official distributor of Nissan, INFINITI and Renault in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, as well as SHIFT Car Rental from AWR Mobility, a subsidiary of AWR Group, are providing transport and logistical support, including vehicles for medical teams and volunteers operating the mobile and fixed clinics during the campaign.

Bronze sponsors include Sharjah National Oil Corporation, which has been operating in oil and gas production since 2010, Zulal, the bottled water brand of the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA), and Al Marwan Group, which specialises in construction, heavy equipment, investment, real estate, and hospitality. The sponsor list also includes Sharjah Media City (Shams), a free zone founded in 2017 focused on media and creativity, as well as SANED and the Sharjah Volunteering Centre.

Additional supporters include Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council, affiliated with the Sharjah Family and Community Council, and Siella Beauty, both participating as partners in the community event at Aljada.

Pink Caravan fixed clinics sponsors

The Pink Caravan fixed clinics, which offer free early detection screenings throughout this year's Pink October campaign, are supported by City Walk, a lifestyle destination reflecting the vision of Merex Investment. They are also supported by Al Majaz Waterfront, one of Sharjah's leading family and leisure destinations, operated by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq).

Support also comes from Mall of Al Ain, the leading retail and entertainment destination in Al Ain, owned by Makani Real Estate, the commercial real estate arm of the MAIR Group—and one of the UAE’s top five retail property operators. Other sponsors include Khorfakkan Hospital - Emirates Health Services; Nesto Hypermarket’s branches in Al Rashidiya and Al Tallah in Ajman; and Line Investments & Property, part of the Part of Lulu International Holding, across four locations: Mushrif Mall in Abu Dhabi, RAK Mall, Lulu Mall in Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain Mall.

Everyone has a role in the fight against breast cancer

FOCP calls on individuals and organisations across the UAE to join the Pink Caravan’s efforts throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Survivors, influencers, content creators, volunteers, and community partners all play a crucial role in raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and supporting prevention efforts. Every action contributes to making early detection more accessible and reinforcing the UAE’s leadership in cancer care and advocacy.
