celebrate the Joy of Giving
Percept art, a unique initiative of Percept
Limited along with Toybank, a non-profit organization that has been set up with
the aim of providing toys to children, organized a fund raiser through the
synchronization of art, music and creativity on the occasion of joy of giving.
Attendees at this musical evening saw wonderful
performances by Vasudha Sharma, Luke Kenny, Ravi Iyer & friends. Vasuda Sharma who broke out of her pop
star mould and went on to become a one woman band, was loved by the audience.
Shweta
Chari, the founder CEO of Toybank said, “Music is one of
the most unbiased essences of life and does not draw differences between anybody.
It gives me utmost satisfaction to see so many people offer their support and
love.”
Luke Kenny, a well renowned Bollywood singer and DJ,
was overwhelmed by the entire event. He said, “It has been such a lovely
experience to be here. Music is my passion and it makes me really happy to
offer my services for such a noble cause”
Percept Art aims at raising around 10 lacs from
all these events and a portion of funds raised from this event will be donated
to Toybank, which intends to use these funds to open one dozen rural impact
centers across rural Maharashtra by the end of this year.
On the 11th October, Atul Kasbekar and Purab Kohli will grace the event to honor the photography contest
which will be followed by musical performances by Suchitra Pillai and Luke
Kenny.
Having reached out to over 65,000 kids so far,
Toybank is working their way to impact the lives of 1,00,000 kids in their 10th
year.
