Her Highness Sheikha Sheikha Bint Saif, wife of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has been named as the official patron of The Bride Show Abu Dhabi, taking place in February 2008.
The Bride Show, organized by IIR Middle East, has also announced that they are supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation as their official charity, which counts Her Highness Sheikha Sheikha as patron of the Foundation's UAE affiliate office.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is an international organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses, whether it is a trip to a location they have always dreamed of or meeting their favorite celebrity.
The Bride Show Abu Dhabi is continuing its support of the charity, as the Foundation is responsible for securing its own funding and the amount of money raised determines the number of wishes granted.
“Granting the wish of a sick child lifts their spirits and brings them happiness in what can be very bleak times,” said Daphne Cota, Exhibitions Manager for The Bride Show. “We are delighted to help these children by giving them the hope, strength and joy that comes from having a dream come true. We believe this is an important cause and one that our exhibitors and visitors share in our dedication.”
Taking place from 5th to 8th February 2008 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, The Bride Show Abu Dhabi brings brides-to-be, their friends and familyas well as style-conscious ladies in contact with everything they need for their perfect wedding. The Bride Show Abu Dhabi is open daily from 3 p.m. until 11.00 p.m.
