Doha, Qatar: LuLu Hypermarket Qatar, the region’s leading retail group, has contributed QR125,000 to Qatar Cancer Society (QCS) as part of its sixth annual ‘Shop & Donate’ campaign, reinforcing its long-standing support for breast cancer awareness and community welfare.

This year’s campaign encouraged shoppers to participate in social responsibility efforts by purchasing selected products at LuLu stores, with a portion of the proceeds directed to QCS. The initiative reflects LuLu’s ongoing commitment to promoting health awareness and supporting national causes.

The donation cheque was handed over by Shanavas Padiyath, Regional Director of LuLu Hypermarket Qatar, to Ammar al-Mashhadani, Public Relations Manager at QCS, during a ceremony at LuLu’s Regional Office in Doha.

Al-Mashhadani expressed gratitude for LuLu’s continuous support, noting that such partnerships are vital in enhancing QCS’s nationwide efforts in cancer prevention, early detection, patient support, and public education. QCS, a non-profit organisation, plays an essential role in offering medical, psychological, and social assistance to patients and their families, in addition to supporting research and professional development in the field of cancer.

Reaffirming LuLu’s commitment, Shanavas said, “This campaign reflects LuLu’s dedication to social responsibility and health awareness. Supporting Qatar Cancer Society aligns with our mission to encourage preventive care, promote healthier lifestyles, and contribute to a well-informed community. We remain committed to strengthening initiatives that create a lasting positive impact.”

Beyond this annual contribution, LuLu Hypermarket Qatar continues to engage in various CSR programmes, including health awareness campaigns, collaborations with government entities, and interactive initiatives such as healthy cooking shows that educate customers on nutrition and disease prevention.

The ‘Shop & Donate’ campaign stands as a successful example of how private-sector organisations can support national health goals through meaningful partnerships and community engagement, further cementing LuLu Hypermarket Qatar’s position as a responsible and community-focused corporate leader.
