Umm Al Emarat Park goes pink in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness

Abu Dhabi, 03 October 2023: Umm Al Emarat Park is proud to announce the return of its honorary “Pink October” initiative with activities aiding breast cancer awareness and supporting those affected.
 

Coinciding with a vibrant new season of the Park Market, Umm Al Emarat Park will light up in pink for the entire month of October in recognition of the cause.

In addition, the Park will host a fitness and wellness schedule that highlights the importance of early detection and screening and living a healthy balanced lifestyle, while supporting those courageously fighting breast cancer.

Starting from October 9th and to encourage an active lifestyle, multi-discipline fitness center Peak Fitness, in partnership with Umm Al Emarat Park, invites guests to partake in a diverse selection of outdoor activities at the Amphitheatre such as MMA, yoga and combat classes from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Ladies can increase their endorphins at the indoor Ladies’ Sweat classes or join their significant others in a fun dance-inspired fitness experience. Advance bookings are encouraged through the Peak Fitness WhatsApp line on +971 58 945 0882.
As part of the “Pink October” activations, and in collaboration with SEHA, a blood donation drive will take place at the Park on October 19th from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, offering the opportunity to contribute to a life-saving cause. This initiative will be open to all as no entry tickets are required to access the donation bus, which will be stationed at the Park’s main gate.

Mark your calendars for the “Pink October Walkathon” on October 20th and 21st, starting at 5:00 PM after the registration and welcome at 4:00 PM. On both days, SEHA will also host a Breast Cancer Awareness booth which will offer free mammogram checkups opposite the Park’s entrance from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
