At ADCB, we believe the fight against Breast Cancer is one that we should all be part of and together make a difference. This October, through the ADCB Pink Month initiative, we are focused to support breast cancer awareness for the 6th consecutive year. ADCB has partnered with a number of significant charities and organisations to offer community outreach events and activities.
We extend a warm invite to all to join us for the below listed special initiatives & show support the fight against Breast Cancer:
ADCB Wellness-On-Wheels
We understand that best protection is early detection. Being a partner of Lifeline Hospital, ADCB has been sponsoring the Mammogram mobile unit for the past 2 years during the ADCB Pink Polo event. This year, ADCB is taking this initiative to the next level by allowing more women to access this life-saving service by introducing ADCB Wellness-On-Wheels - a first of its kind self-contained mammogram bus in the UAE providing free-of-charge screening for women.
ADCB Wellness-on-Wheels is a 15 meter-long bus with state-of-the-art screening solution and comprising of three changing rooms, a consultation room, and a reception area that will be over seen by 1 radiologist and 2 radiographers. ADCB Wellness-On-Wheels will tour the emirates during the month of October and offer free screening throughout various ADCB events and more.
Registration for free screening is available on first-come-first-serve on the ADCB Wellness-on-Wheels Bus. To know the nearest venue and schedule of the ADCB Wellness-On-Wheels please click here.

ADCB Tree of Hope
The ADCB Tree of Hope was launched in October 2012 with an objective of spreading the message of hope and positivity around breast cancer while raising awareness and funds. The ADCB Tree of Hope structure is a replica of a plain tree trunk with bare tree branches. Everyone is invited to write their messages of hope on pink sticker leaves and place them on the branches of the tree. Thus the message of hope brings the tree to life. A donation of minimum AED 10 is requested for each message of hope by way of raising funds for Breast Cancer and also raising awareness of the cause overall. All visitors to the ADCB Tree of Hope receive a pink ribbon pin and literature around Breast Cancer Awareness on early detection, health and wellbeing tips to reduce risk of breast cancer and possibly save lives.
The ADCB Tree of Hope will be available at all ADCB Pink Events throughout the month of October.
