This year, we are honored to support two charities:

aadhar Aadhar (means Support) is dedicated to promoting mental wellness, emotional wellbeing, reducing stigma, and providing accessible resources for individuals and families facing mental health challenges. Their mission is to foster a supportive community where everyone has the access to the available tools and opportunities to achieve optimal mental well-being.

Established in 2024 by Dr. Sejal Mehta, a practicing psychiatrist, Aadhar is a community-based non-profit organization that specializes in mental health wellness awareness and support. They cater to diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, recognizing that mental health is a universal concern that transcends age, gender, culture, and socioeconomic status.

Akanksha Education Fund (Akanksha means “to aspire”) is dedicated to empowering students from underserved communities to unlock their full potential by providing access to transformative school experiences and effective school-to-work transitions. We strive to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to achieve economic mobility and lead purposeful, empowered lives. We believe that every child—no matter their background—deserves the chance to learn, grow, and rise beyond the limits of generational poverty.

For over three decades, Akanksha has stood beside students and their families, beginning with 60 after-school centers and evolving into 26 innovative public-private partnership schools across Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur – and our work has changed the lives of over 20,000 students.

While we will gather in the spirit of philanthropy, we will highlight how fashion can be a powerful vehicle for change, weaving together the efforts of Aadhar and Akanksha Education Fund with the giving nature of our community.
