MUMBAI: On occasion of Joy of Giving, the second fundraiser night set together with art, music and creativity will be held on 11 October. The initiative was organised by Percept Art along with Toybank, a non-profit organisation that has been set up with the aim of providing toys to children.
Toybank CEO and founder Shweta Chari said, “We send out a request to around 150 potential art buyers to come forward and buy the art that is displayed. Many artistes have contributed their art work. The portion of money that will be received through the art exhibition will be used to help our organisation buy toys for children. Having music along with the art was a really great idea.”
Chari further added, “I never thought I will do something like this but I am happy that it did happen. It is all new for me but I would like to do something like this again.”
