QCS organised an awareness event called "Let’s close the Care Gap," which included many awareness competitions and activities.
The event also included a car rally in co-operation with Sealine Circuit Sports Club – Mawater. The campaign included many direct and virtual educational workshops and lectures, targeting and educating several state agencies and institutions, especially schools.
There was also an awareness competition under the auspices of UICC which encouraged community members to adopt a healthy lifestyle and exercise to emphasise the role of sport in preventing cancer.
