Chai for Cancer USA on the Road

blogpost388_1This summer, India Country Head Viji Venkatesh is crisscrossing the USA to host Chai for Cancer addas and share The Max Foundation vision. Started in India, Chai for Cancer is our global initiative to invite our community to partner with us. There have already been a number of events in Houston, Charlotte, and New Jersey with more to come!

We are using chai addas, a term akin to gathering, as a model for bringing people together. Watch Viji explain what an adda is.

Choice Organic Teas has generously donated their spiced chai tea for our events throughout the country. Thank you Choice! But as Viji explains through the story of the Soup Stone, addas are also an opportunity for people to come together and contribute food, snacks, stories, and love on top of the tea. That’s what makes a party!

We have already experienced great community and generosity from people who have attended a Chai for Cancer adda and we hope to see you at a future event. Like our Chai for Cancer Facebook page to get updates about future events and see photos from past events.

Thanks to all of our supporters, new and old, for joining us to Drink to a Cause!
