“The Go Pink! sports event is just one in a series of volunteer activities and programs that the Sheraton Grand Doha participates in throughout the year. These initiatives provide us with opportunities to make meaningful differences in the lives of others by creating positive and long-lasting changes in our community,” said Nick Heath, Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention hotel Complex General Manager.

“We are so thankful for the continued support in the area of breast cancer awareness demonstrated by the Sheraton Grand Doha.

Programs such as the Go Pink! sports event really underscore that through teamwork and education we can increase the profile of cancer prevention and treatments,” Omar AlTwaisi, said of Qatar Cancer Society.
