The Sheraton Abu Dhabi’s regular charity event will take place this year on 19 September, with all funds from exhibitor spaces going to UNICEF.

Yves Tarabout, deputy GM for Sheraton Abu Dhabi, explained: “Our charity flea markets have been running for a number of years. It has quickly become a sought-after event and it remains an incredibly popular date in our calendar.

“It is no longer just a charity fundraiser but has developed into a community occasion that brings people together.

“There are 90-95 exhibitor stands at each flea market and hundreds of visitors. We hope that the community’s overwhelming support remains unwavering and we will have the opportunity to welcome our regular friends as well as new visitors.” – adds Mr. Tarabout.

UNICEF and Starwood Hotels & Resorts are celebrating 20 years of partnership this year. Since 1995, Starwood has supported UNICEF projects in more than 40 countries across the world with US $30 million in funds raised.
