Dubai Police to raise Dh3 mn for charity through sports

Dubai Police have launched a new campaign called 'Sport for Support,' aiming to raise Dh3 million for charitable causes during the Holy month of Ramadan.

The campaign, which combines sports and charity, seeks to support those in need while promoting physical fitness.

One of the initiatives of the campaign is the "Iftar with Leaders" programme. This unique opportunity allows individuals to interact and communicate with leaders in the Dubai Police Officers Club for seven consecutive days. Each day, a different leadership figure and the assistant commander-in-chief of Dubai Police will join the participants in breaking their fast.

Before Iftar, participants will engage in activities organised by Fitness Time Centre for 30 minutes, promoting physical well-being.

Another event included in the campaign is the steeplechase and hurdles championship, to be held at NAS Sports. The championship, open to participants of all categories, will feature a 400-metre steeplechase competition spanning eight days from March 14 to 21. The championship aims to inspire participants to contribute to the charitable cause.

Adnoc Pro League will also be part of the campaign's initiatives. A pavilion will be set up to engage sports enthusiasts and encourage their participation in various activities. Additionally, a representative from Dar Al Ber Society will be present to collect donations on behalf of the campaign.

The campaign's charitable projects include sustainable initiatives such as providing sports clothing and shoes, establishing a charitable endowment, building mosques during the holy month of Ramadan, and providing humanitarian aid to families in need.
