Alfardan Group recently concluded its successful participation as Gold Sponsors in the 2016 Blood Donors Honouring Ceremony. Organised by the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), the annual event aimed to praise companies and individuals that have supported the programmes and initiatives of HMC.
This year’s edition marks Alfardan Group’s third sponsorship of the event with HMC. The group’s regular collaborative efforts reflect its steadfast commitment towards promoting awareness on the vital role that blood donations play in helping save lives, as well as on initiatives that will enhance the overall well-being of the community.
Omar Alfardan, president and CEO, Alfardan Group, said: “Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an integral component of Alfardan Group’s corporate culture. We have always advocated charitable and philanthropic causes that will positively impact society. The blood donation campaign of Hamad Medical Corporation is one such initiative as it reflects the company’s commitment to establish a healthy and sustainable society.”
The ceremony was held as part of the series of activities organised for World Blood Donor Day. The event celebrated the invaluable contribution of the official sponsors who received a certificate and trophy of excellence in recognition of their tireless efforts to help HMC with their blood donation campaign and activities.
Blood donations are greatly needed on a daily basis to address the requirements of trauma victims, as well as individuals suffering from cancer and those undergoing treatment for life-threatening diseases.
