In line with the spirit of giving, gratitude, and
feasting that goes with the holy month of Ramadan, Alfardan Sports Motors—the official
Ferrari Importer in Qatar since 1999—has once again
pledged its support to local charities by donating a large collection of
Ferrari branded children and infants’ clothing and lifestyle products
to the Qatar Cancer Society and Qatar Autism Center. The donations were presented
this week during special ceremonies at the respective entities’ headquarters.
With a long history of giving to charitable causes in
Qatar, Alfardan Sports Motors has always been a strong supporter of public
welfare activities and organizations—as part of its Corporate Social
Responsibility policy to give back to the community as well as to contribute to
the well-being of society, especially when it comes to further improving education
and childhood development.
The ceremonies brought together representatives from
Ferrari Qatar and Qatar Cancer Society, and Qatar Autism Center as well as
children who benefited from the donations in order to spread awareness about
cancer and autism that has affected thousands of children and their families.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Tarek Al Hammoud, General
Manager of Alfardan Sports Motors - Ferrari Qatar, said: “We are proud to see
our commitment to Qatar Cancer Society and Qatar Autism Center come to life through
hosting donation ceremonies for these charitable organizations. This initiative
is another clear indication of our commitment to spreading awareness about
cancer and autism afflicting many children and their families in Qatar. Our
mission at Ferrari Qatar will always be to contribute to Qatar people and community
well-being and fulfill their dreams.”
Qatar Cancer Society and Qatar Autism Center were
carefully selected by Alfardan Sports Motors because of their positive impact
on so many in the community. Qatar Cancer Society works to eliminate the burden
of cancer in Qatar by educating, supporting, empowering, and advocating for
people living with the disease as well as engaging in professional development
and research. Founded in October 2010, the Qatar Autism Center was inaugurated
under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education. The facility
includes two spacious villas that reflect all of the modern international
rehabilitation standards and they provide an appropriate classroom environment
for disabled students.
