The auction, organised by Emirates Auction, was held at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre in Sharjah on Saturday night.
Major-General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of the Sharjah Police expressed his happiness at the amount that was raised for TBHF.
Mariam Al Hammadi, director of TBHF, lauded the public's response to the auction, during which Sharjah Police dedicated the complete proceeds from the sale of three plate numbers for TBHF's humanitarian work worldwide.
The birth of this kind of selfless humanism, she said, is the result of the vision and direction offered to us by Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. She is the chairperson of TBHF and UNHCR Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children.
Al Hammadi underlined that the initiative is the first fruit of TBHF's strategic collaboration with the Sharjah Police. She specified that the funds raised through this auction will go into supporting and empowering children and the youth in regions affected by turmoil and disasters.
