Run For Vision, a Non Profit company working for

artists of Green Room Theatre (GRT) Cultural Society to drive home the importance
of donating eyes.
Run For Vision, a CSR initiative by
Advance Group of Companies has been working actively to create awareness about
merits of eye donations and is ready to take the artistic route to drill the
message across theatre lovers and the masses.
Mr Ashok Mahindru, Chairman Run For Vision, said ‘’Corneal blindness a huge human problem
existing throughout the country. We are on a mission to eradicate curable
blindness from the country.’’
‘’As a responsible corporate citizen, Advance Group’s CSR has always been about walking the extra mile for the needy. I believe eye donation is one of the most noble causes to be contributing to because if a person is given a chance to see and experience the world, then he experiences freedom and in many cases the person becomes the bread earning member in the family,’’ added Mr Ashok Mahindru, who leads the initiative at Run For Vision.
Neelanjana
Banerjee, Joint Secretary and one of the leading artists in Green Room Theatre,
says, ’’Over time, through our shows, we have realised that we can do a lot
more. Partnering with good corporate citizens like Advance Group’s MD Mr Ashok
Mahindru can provide an opportunity to send out social messages to our audience
and patrons. The Run For Vision’s noble endeavour of promoting eye donation is
a message we at GRT too, believe in, and hence it is our pleasure to send out
that message through our souvenirs and other visual publicity.’’
