An initiative to 'Give Life A Chance'

Over the years, 'CEOs Sing for GF Kids' has created a community of CEOs who wholeheartedly support GF's fund-raising initiatives to Give Life a Chance. In keeping with the Genesis Foundation's core to build a participatory culture of giving, musically-inclined CEOs come together each year to raise funds for the critically ill and underprivileged children. “The uniqueness of CEOs Sing for GF Kids lies in its ability to give the otherwise busy business leaders an opportunity to showcase their passion whilst raising resources for the lesser privileged in the same beat” said Jyoti Sagar, Founder Trustee, Genesis Foundation.

This is what the participating CEOs had to say:
