The distinctive City Sightseeing Sharjah transport fleet has announced that is to donate the proceeds of one of its tour buses to support the Pink Caravan Ride (PCR) - an annual pan UAE initiative, launched by Friends of Cancer Patient- which drives awareness of breast cancer, highlights the importance of early detection and provides free medical checkups for both males and females.
City Sightseeing Sharjah, launched by Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) in collaboration with City Sightseeing Worldwide, has decorated the tour bus and the bus stop located at Khalid Lagoon to encourage more members of the community to donate to PCR, which runs from 7-17 March, 2017.
Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, COO at Shurooq, expressed his happiness to support PCR through City Sightseeing Sharjah, stressing that the donation reflects the value of solidarity between all segments of UAE society, whether individuals or private or public sector. He noted that it represents the nation’s deep-rooted tendency of compassion to those in need, especially considering this year’s annual PCR is in conjunction with the Year of Giving in UAE.
“As part of its responsibility and commitment to the community by supporting humanitarian activities and events, City Sightseeing Sharjah has a duty as well as a desire to help PCR,” Al Qaseer said.
“PCR enhances awareness about breast cancer and the importance of its early detection, and we believe that the funds we raise can help turn even more of its objectives into tangible results and promote the culture of voluntary work,” he concluded.

Free Wifi is also available on all vehicles.
