Over 3000 patients were reached and gifted utility bags distributed at these centers. CPAA’s Rose Warrior campaign enlisted young, enthusiastic school children to partner with us in our battle against cancer, where the children showed their concern by stepping out of their comfort-zone to collect funds and entertained patients in hospitals. This year the highest collection of Rs. 3 lakhs was made by The Dadar Parsee Youth Assembly High School. The ‘Winners in Life’ Awards instituted in 2010 celebrates and awards cancer patients who have fought the brave fight and managed a positive outlook in life, against all odds. The 'Nightingale Awards', given in memory of Late Lt. Mrs. M R Crasto focus on nursing care with a difference –recognizing healthcare workers who walk the extra mile for the patient. This year the award was given to nurses from ACTREC Hospital, Hinduja Hospital and BYL Nair Hospital. Nominations for these awards were drawn from leading oncologists across hospitals in Mumbai and the ceremony was held at the Trident Hotel, Bandra on 2 October. 8 patients were felicitated for the unique handling of their ailment and their outstanding achievements in life thereafter.

OSE Day, CPAA's project dedicated to bringing smiles to cancer patients, has grown from strength to strength over the past 18 years. Rose Day is a human expression that says, 'I Care'. Looking deeper however, it’s what gives CPAA the dynamism and scope to engage itself in the very real issues of cancer - treatment, the prohibitive costs of cancer drugs, the lack of awareness, the endemic proportions of head and neck cancers thanks to our tobacco chewing habits. We at CPAA own our TOTAL
Management promise with a seriousness and passion that has kept this
organization alive over the past 43 years.
