MUMBAI: VCare foundation, a non-profit organization and a registered Public Charitable Trust that has been providing financial and emotional support to all the cancer patients and survivors in the country, recently hosted a fund raiser in support of those battling against cancer.

The fund raiser saw Usha Uthup perform at Tata Theatre at NCPA, to celebrate life with cancer survivors from across the country. It also gave a chance to cancer victims and survivors to forget their worries and sing along to popular foot tapping songs with Usha.

Sharing her excitement, Jogita Jagwani said, “I had a great evening, singing aloud and matching steps with Usha to some great music. I am extremely grateful to Usha Uthup and VCare Foundation to acknowledge our battle against cancer and stand by us.”

Vandana Gupta, Founder of VCare Foundation said, “We are thankful to Usha for supporting our fight against cancer. We will continue our endeavor to help cancer victims and their families to receive the best information, treatment, care and support possible. Over the years VCare Foundation has supported over 80,000 patients and we will continue our efforts to touch as many lives as possible.”

Usha Uthup said, “Cancer does not only affect individuals but also their families. It is time we acknowledge survivors and celebrate these courageous individuals. I am glad to be associated with VCare Foundation that offered me a platform to give back to the society.”

The funds raised from the sale of tickets would be going towards providing financial assistance to those affected by cancer.

On the 15th of February 2014, the VCare Foundation will be celebrating 20 successful years of providing financial and emotional support to the cancer patients and survivors. It fights cancer on multiple fronts, offering a wide range of programs and services that are free of charge and available in communities through hospitals and centers, in person or by telephone.
