The Hindu : Tamil Nadu / Chennai News : A charity spin on `Sivaji': "Proceeds to go to help children overcome cancer"
The Ray of Light Foundation, a nascent city-based non-governmental organisation that sponsors treatment costs of poor children with cancer, has added the `social clause' to the 8.30 a.m. screening of the film at Abirami Theatre by turning it into a fund-raiser for its projects. Those buying tickets (Rs.300, 500 and 750) from Landmark will be issued donor passes for the show, with the proceeds forming a corpus to help children fight cancer.
An added incentive is that ticket buyers get a receipt that entitles them to a tax waiver under 80 G.
The Foundation has tied up with CHILDS Trust Hospital to provide free treatment to the child patients with various forms of cancer. The hospital allocates bed space free of cost while the Foundation foots the chemotherapy bill, and if required, also meets ICU charges.
