After a dismal week of foggy days, finally the sun shone brightly on Saturday, January 16, 2010 when we held our 5th CEO Chefs Share-a-Smile lunch fundraiser at Crowne Plaza, Gurgaon. The venue was the Petal Garden which looked radiant in the sunshine. The blue and white theme colour of ‘Grey Goose’ was everywhere, on the tables, the umbrellas and the red flowers on every table added cheer to the event.

Our main sponsor for the event was Bacardi Martini India Ltd. Their 'Grey Goose' brand has always been associated with supporting social causes at local and international levels. They were happy to be associated with Genesis Foundation for this unique event again and went out of their way to make it a huge success. Our second sponsor, T and T Motors India displayed their swanky latest E-350 Model Mercedes for all to admire and aspire for.

Excusing themselves from their busy schedules, eight leading CEO's arrived on time, each with a big smile and happy faces. They were welcomed by volunteers of Genesis Foundation who helped them don their aprons and chef hats and were then introduced to their hotel counterparts and their work stations. By then Bacardi had set up a wonderful bar with invigorating cocktails, Breezers and other cocktails, to enthrall the soul and the spirit. Our donor guests who had contributed towards buying seats at the event were also welcomed and were suitably taken care of to set the mood for the afternoon.
