This summer, India Country Head Viji Venkatesh is crisscrossing the USA to host Chai for Cancer addas and share The Max Foundation vision. Started in India, Chai for Cancer is our global initiative to invite our community to partner with us. There have already been a number of events in Houston, Charlotte, and New Jersey with more to come!
We are using chai addas, a term akin to gathering, as a model for bringing people together. Watch Viji explain what an adda is.
Choice Organic Teas has generously donated their spiced chai tea for our events throughout the country. Thank you Choice! But as Viji explains through the story of the Soup Stone, addas are also an opportunity for people to come together and contribute food, snacks, stories, and love on top of the tea. That’s what makes a party!
We have already experienced great community and generosity from people who have attended a Chai for Cancer adda and we hope to see you at a future event. Like our Chai for Cancer Facebook page to get updates about future events and see photos from past events.
Thanks to all of our supporters, new and old, for joining us to Drink to a Cause!

I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to raise a family of six with a minimum educational background, as a sole provider for the family. I have the privilege of working with so many patients in Cambodia, I get to hear different story, life experiences. Every story is unique. Every day, I am….
Access to healthcare is fundamental for cancer patients to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. According to ResearchGate, the average distance a person living in an under-resourced country travels to access healthcare is 15 miles (25 km) one-way or 30 miles (50km) roundtrip.
