FOCP hosts several events for cancer patients and families

Reflecting themes of heartfelt caring and generosity during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP) has demonstrated the power of unity and community support by organising a series of compassionate events across the UAE.

- 

Partnering with philanthropic individuals, compassionate companies, and government entities, FOCP's efforts aim to uplift cancer patients, survivors, and their families, embodying the sentiment of Ramadan through acts of kindness and solidarity.

On March 7, FOCP commenced its Ramadan event series with a supportive Iftar gathering hosted in collaboration with TIME Grand Plaza Hotel (Dubai) for 50 children battling cancer, their parents, and also for survivors. This touching tribute, timed with International Women's Day, also celebrated and honoured the resilience of mothers, whose strength often forms the foundational support of their children’s brave journeys.

Now a tradition within FOCP’s yearly efforts, the annual Iftar at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre (JRCC) brought together more than 200 patients, families, and FOCP Board and team members, and was generously sponsored by philanthropist and renowned businesswoman Lubna Allana. The evening, held on March 10, was also supported with generous gifts of chocolate boxes from “Patchi,” perfume gift bags from “Taif Al Emarat,” and free coffee for attendees during the evening from Claro Specialty Coffee.
