In cooperation with Emirates Auction, the “Most Noble Numbers” charity auctions for special vehicle plate numbers will be launched on Saturday, 16th April, with the participation of elite businessmen as well as charity and humanitarian pioneers.

The auctions will support the efforts of the “1 Billion Meals” initiative, the largest in the region to provide food support to the underprivileged and undernourished, especially children, refugees, displaced people, and those affected by disasters and crises.

The “Most Noble Numbers” charity auctions will be held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in addition to the 555 online auction next week with the support of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai and Abu Dhabi Police. The public can participate by bidding on a set of special vehicle plate numbers in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai and online, with all proceeds going towards feeding millions of hungry people in 50 countries around the world.

The auction supports the humanitarian goals of the 1 Billion Meals initiative organised by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, which is seeking to send 1 billion messages of hope and solidarity from the UAE to those in greatest need – especially at a time when food prices are rising globally and the hunger challenge that threatens more than 800 million people intensifies.

The first “Most Noble Numbers” charity auction will be held in Dubai on Saturday at the Four Seasons Hotel Jumeirah, in the presence of distinguished personalities and philanthropists from various economic sectors and charitable institutions and who are keen to support this humanitarian cause in the month of giving.

The Most Noble Numbers auction in Dubai will offer a set of special numbers for vehicle plates in Dubai – most notably the unique plate number AA8 – in addition to three distinct numbers: F55, V66 and Y66.
