The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM) keeps breaking records, not only while racing against the clock, but even when it comes to raising funds for charity. The event is not only one of the biggest sporting events in India, it is also among the biggest charity events in Asia. SCMM 2014 broke all previous charity records with the highest number of donors, donations and participants supporting social initiatives, raising over Rs. 20 crores, benefitting numerous NGOs.

Every year, SCMM officially concludes with the release of the Charity Docket which documents the highlights and achievements of the charity effort. They announce the figures and felicitate the achievements of individuals and organisations during the Charity Awards night, which was held this year on 27th March at the Trident Hotel, Mumbai. The Chief Guest of the glittering event was Shri K. Sankaranarayanan - Honourable Governor of Maharashtra. 

The evening started with a monologue based on true stories of how NGOs, including Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care (SRLC), have touched lives of those in need. This was followed by felicitation of the fund raisers. With Param Krupalu Dev’s grace and Pujya Gurudevshri’s inspiration, SRLC was conferred upon with the following awards:

• Highest Fund Raising NGO
  Amongst the 269 participating NGOs, SRLC raised the highest funds for charity, over Rs. 1.58 crores. This marked the fourth consecutive year where SRLC has received this award!
• NGO with Largest Corporate Support 
  Amongst the 171 corporates that participated in SCMM to support NGOs of their choice, SRLC had the maximum corporate support with 24 companies supporting SRLC’s 10 Care Programme. This speaks volumes of the faith that corporates have in SRLC’s social initiatives. 
• NGO with Maximum Dream Team Support
  Dream Teamers is a category comprising of individuals who commit to raise a minimum of Rs. 1.5 lakhs for their chosen NGO. SRLC received the support of 27 Dream Teamers, the highest amongst all the participating NGOs.
