IOC Recognizes QOC for Support of “Giving is Winning” Campaign

On July 23, 2012, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) paid tribute to the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) for its valuable contribution to the “Giving is Winning” campaign in the lead-up to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The initiative aimed to collect over 100,000 pieces of sportswear and casual clothing for refugees and displaced individuals living in UNHCR camps across the globe. Thanks to global efforts, the campaign successfully gathered 75,000 clothing items, with the QOC playing a key role in supporting this humanitarian cause.
