Chai for Cancer Season 13 Launched!
It almost felt like a homecoming. Every year, a new season of Chai for Cancer is launched on the second Sunday of May bringing together a community bound by compassion, hope and purpose. This year it was The Taj Mahal Tea House in Bandra that stood in for Viji’s home which anyway she does it her home away from home.
With the steadfast support of friends and well-wishers, some of whom have stood with the campaign since its very inception and many who have joined along the way, the gathering felt like a close-knit family coming together once again, raising their cups for the cause.
The Chai for Cancer Launch of Season 13 on May 10 in Mumbai, was an afternoon filled with warmth, laughter, conversations and camaraderie, as people came together so generously in solidarity for a cause that continues to touch countless lives.
What began as a Sunday morning Adda effortlessly stretched well into the afternoon, celebrated on Mother’s Day making it even more special!
We are deeply humbled by how far Chai for Cancer has come. What started years ago as a modest initiative to create awareness and raise funds for the well-being of cancer patients has today grown into a movement embraced by friends, families, members of the medical fraternity, supporters from social media and countless well-wishers who believe in the cause.
It is this continued love and encouragement that inspires us to keep going further with every season.
A special mention to our long-time Radio Partners, Red FM, who continue to amplify our message year after year, helping Chai for Cancer grow stronger with every passing season. And to all our donors and supporters who are the real heroes of Chai for Cancer!
