2. Dawlance
The electronics brand, Dawlance also registered its effort in directing people’s attention towards the cause. They showered their head office in Karachi in pink light, the colour that has become associated with breast cancer awareness.
Pearl Continental
Pearl Continental Peshawar lit up in pink to acknowledge the danger of breast cancer. When a huge building goes pink, it is bound to get the attention of people who would look up the reason. Just maybe this would lead to people being convinced to get diagnosed. And as you know, early diagnosis will lead to early treatment.
3. Bank Of Punjab
Just like PC Peshawar, the Bank of Punjab also celebrated Pinktober, the month dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness. Not just for the customers, but realizing the importance of the issue, they decided to run the awareness campaign in-house as well. Hence, while a customer or a potential customer might see the pink light washing over the buildings, they laced the offices with pink balloons too.
4. Ufone
As part of the awareness campaign, Ufone lit up its tower located in central Islamabad.
