Season 12 Curtain Raiser Adda
Season 12 Curtain Raiser Adda hosted by Sindhushree Khullar & FOM on 20 April 2025 in Delhi
What began over a decade ago as a heartfelt appeal by Viji Venkatesh, Managing Trustee, Friends of Max, to her friends and family—to raise a cup of chai in support of cancer patients in need—has grown into a powerful movement. The campaign has struck a deep chord within the community, where dedicating a simple cup of chai to the cause of cancer awareness and support has become an annual gesture for many.
The essence of Chai for Cancer lies in its unwavering spirit—symbolized by the “Cup of Hope.” Over the years, countless supporters, friends, and extended networks have rallied around the initiative. They have made it their own, turning it into a meaningful tool of hope and dignity for families facing the challenges of cancer.
On Saturday, April 20th, the twelfth season of Chai for Cancer was ushered in with much warmth and celebration at an Adda hosted by Sindhushree Khullar, a dedicated host since the inception of Chai for Cancer itself. Opening her home once again, she welcomed guests for the official Curtain Raiser of Season 12, in collaboration with Friends of Max, Delhi City Chapter Leaders.
The evening was a vibrant confluence of friends, well-wishers and the dedicated Friends of Max City Chapter Leaders—all coming together in solidarity. The spirit of the evening, filled with love, laughter, and purpose truly embodied the spirit of an Adda.
A special note of gratitude goes to our long-standing radio partner, Red FM, for their continued support in amplifying the voice of Chai for Cancer and sharing its message with their wide-reaching audience.
As the campaign steps into its Twelfth Season, Chai for Cancer remains committed to its founding vision: offering hope and dignity to patients and their caregivers, and bringing common people from the society together—one cup at a time, for the cause.
