fundraising for social causes
Our family has been involved in community services in a number of ways. Our children, Rohil and Samik have organized a food drive called, "Hunger is Scary" for the past five years and donated the collection to Britepaths in Fairfax, VA. The biggest yearly fundraiser we have is the Fairfax Fun Run. The fun runs have been attended by Fairfax County elected officials like Chairman Sharon Bulova and Senator Chap Petersen. We are looking to partner with other families this year so we can guide them on how to get involved. If interested, please contact us through the contact page.

Our last two fun runs were for Pencils of Promise is a New York-based nonprofit dedicated to making sure every child can go to school by building schools in developing countries. $250 is all it takes to give a child the education he or she needs in countries like Laos, Guatemala, Ghana, and Nicaragua, some of the countries that the organization helps.
