On September 13, 2024, the Cosmo TNGF Golf Course in Chennai buzzed with energy as golf enthusiasts gathered for a noble cause. The charity tournament, ‘A Drive to Transform Lives through Organ Donation’, organised by MOHAN Foundation and Rotary Club of Madras Next Gen, aimed to support both organ donation and the education of underprivileged children.

A highlight of the day was the participation of 100 players, including two inspiring organ recipients: Mr. Amit Prasada, a liver transplant recipient, and Mr. Karhun Nanda, a heart transplant recipient. Their presence was a powerful reminder of how organ transplantation can save and transform lives. The event was directed by Mr. Sundar K with assistance from Mr. Kumar, Mr. Ravi Lakshman, Mr. Alok Bhargav and Mr. Akhil Murthi.

In the tournament, Dr. S. Venkatesh and Mr. S. Stalin Joseph emerged as winners in the Four-Ball Better-Ball format. Individual honours went to Mr. Aniruda Srikanth for the best gross score and to Mr. Sriram Ananth for the best net score.

Two remarkable organ donation ambassadors, Ms. Krisha Toshniwal and Ms. Sanika Bihani, were honoured for their tireless efforts in spreading awareness about organ donation. Key supporters of the event included Apollo Hospitals, Chola MS, Globe Links,and TANKER Foundation, among other esteemed organisations.

The evening ceremony had speeches by Dr. Sunil Shroff, Managing Trustee of MOHAN Foundation, and Mr. Yash Palsani, who commended the participants and supporters for their contribution to this life-saving cause.
