Celebrating 4 Colorss-filled Years! | Colorss Foundation



On the 15th of September this year, Pune was witness to the 4th Anniversary Celebrations of Colorss. Colorss foundation commemorated this occasion by organizing a flashmob [on 14th of September 2012] to perform at Symbiosis Law School around noon time. Later that evening around 7pm, the same mob performed in Pheonix Marketcity, Pune.

The flashmob was organised by the combined efforts of almost 50 participants who were all proud of the fact that they had managed to come up with an innovative idea to spread their cause. As Sweksha Ballabh puts it, “From practicing all day and night for the flash mob, to performing it in front of over 100 people, the excitement that this event has brought to our lives is splendid. The event was very well planned and organized by an amazing team of volunteers. I am so glad that I got a chance to be a part of such a noble event”.


Aditi, who is a first year student in Symbiosis chimes in, “15th September, 2012 was when we realized that working for a good cause can come with loads of fun, frolic, and dance. It was not just about the dance in the end or the socializing that was inevitable, it came with immense satisfaction. Having worked with Colorss Foundation in its various other projects, this one was definitely awesome”.

Even the audience were left amazed by the team’s performance. A participant who was witness to the flashmob stated that, “The flash mob was a unique way to create awareness about the cause and about Colorss Foundation. It was an inspiration to all those who took part”. Some of the many faces behind this event include Nikita Puri, Abraham Verghese, Dhiraj Khatri, Stuti Prasad and Nikita Lamba.

The next day afternoon, Colorss foundation continued the celebrations by organising a Walkathon from Symbiosis Law School to Pune Central, University Road. The Walkathon which covered a distance of approximately 5 kilometres saw about 50 participants who covered this distance with the knowledge that their effort was spent in raising awareness about a worthy cause.

Although the celebrations are in the past now, Colorss Foundation has found a new lease of life in all the efforts that its volunteers put in for the event and is now fuelled with the positive energy it created to go through another year filled with the aim of reaching out to more underprivileged kids!
For Love,
