Talabat raises over QR52,000 for breast cancer awareness

TALABAT Qatar, the region’s leading local tech platform, in collaboration with Qatar Cancer Society (QCS), raised more than QR52,000 for breast cancer awareness.

Through talabat Mart’s Pinktober Campaign and the generous donations by talabat customers, talabat once again supported this important annual initiative and further raised awareness of the importance of this campaign.

talabat Mart created a category title with a number of products to support the cause during the month of October, also known as Pinktober, whereby for every purchase of any of the items, brands donated an amount to Qatar Cancer Society. In addition, talabat Mart sold pink cancer pins to raise funds for the cause, with all of the proceeds of the sale going to QCS.

For this campaign, talabat Mart partnered with several brands, including Nestle, Doha Drug Store, Qatar National Imports & Exports, Le Chat, Rankoussi and Sadia, among many others.

Carla Ferreira, general manager of talabat Mart Qatar, said: “Cancer touches so many people from all walks of life, and we at talabat Mart wanted to do our part in creating awareness and hopefully touching people’s lives, showing them that although we are an ecommerce business, we too can do our part in the Qatar community jointly with our selected partners for the Pinktober Campaign.”

Mona Ashknani, general manager of Qatar Cancer Society, said: “I would like to thank talabat Mart Qatar for their continuous support of the charity, especially since it is not the first time they have supported QCS.”
