Now in its 18th year, IGNITE Pink is Punk has become a much-loved Dubai tradition – bringing people together to stay active, have fun, connect with their community, and most importantly, raise critical funds for breast cancer research and patient support.
“Pink is Punk is about more than just sport – it’s about solidarity, awareness, and action. These events give people the chance to move, connect, and contribute to an important cause,” said Guillaume Mariole, Co-Founder and CEO of IGNITE Group. “All proceeds go directly to the Al Jalila Foundation, supporting breast cancer patients, their families, and vital medical research.”
Since 2008, IGNITE Pink is Punk has raised over AED 950,000 for breast cancer–related charities. Every dirham from the 2025 events will once again be donated to Al Jalila Foundation, ensuring funds are directed toward research, treatment, and patient care.
“Breast cancer remains one of the most pressing health challenges for women worldwide,” said Dr. Abdulkareem Sultan Alolama, CEO of Al Jalila Foundation. “Community-led initiatives like Pink is Punk are powerful platforms for advocacy and fundraising, and we are proud to partner once again with IGNITE to make a difference.”
