On March 10, 2024, over 300 children participated in a Kids Dash for Organ Donation, enjoying a lively Sunday morning at Rajarathinam Stadium, Chennai. The run featured four categories, ranging from 50 meters to 800 meters within the stadium. In addition to the run, there were games, gifts, and complimentary medical and dental check-ups for both children and parents.

The event welcomed esteemed chief guests, including Mr Rohit Toshniwal, Director of Toshniwal Instruments, Lion J. Pareenatharan, and Dr K. Indira. Special guests, such as Ms Shaharshini (12), Master Dinesh Kumar (9), and Mr Hariharan (21), who had received a second chance at life through transplants, were honored. The parents shared their children's stories before and after transplantation, inspiring many others to support the cause.

The sports teachers from Jai Gopal Garodia Schools were appreciated for their seamless coordination and assistance, while students from CTTE College and Stella Maris College were recognized for their valuable contribution as student volunteers. The event was compered by Ms Malina, an upcoming artist in Tamil film industry.
