The ‘Caring with Style’ fashion show is part of Pidilite’s commitment to support children suffering from blood cancer. Over the last ten years it has been held, the event has seen strong support from prominent figures including Bollywood stars Aamir Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, who walked the ramp last year.

In all, the last ten editions of the event put together have raised a decent amount for the treatment of blood cancer patients.

Shaina NC said, “It gives me immense satisfaction to see the growing awareness and increased support for children suffering from cancer.  The concept of ‘Caring With Style’ is ‘glamour with a purpose’ and I thank all my celebrity friends and each one associated with the event for the support they extend to the cause each year. It is truly overwhelming and I am sure it will be equally, if not even more, so this year.”

Manish Malhotra said, “It’s an honour to be a part of a cause as noble as this, which not only celebrates fashion but also raises funds for those suffering with cancer. I do wish that this small effort of ours goes a long way in creating awareness on the cause”.

Cancer Patients Aid Association Founder Chairman Y. K. Sapru said, “The 'Caring With Style ' event goes a long way every year towards raising funds for children suffering from blood cancer. We are grateful for the support the Bollywood fraternity and other notable public figures extend to us each year and would also like to thank Fevicol for their commitment to the cause over all these years. By hosting the event we are hoping to save the lives of several young patients suffering from cancer. So I request everyone to come forward and support us. No contribution is too small.”
Rakesh Malhotra, the Honourable secretary, NSCI, Mumbai & Delhi said,' NSCI is honoured to be the venue partner of the Cancer Patients Aid Association event to support the noble cause of raising funds for the treatment of people suffering from cancer. Further augmenting our efforts to support such noble causes, we wish CPA all the best in this battle against cancer.'
