• This year, we embraced yet another new format by supporting People for Animals Trust, an organization dedicated to the welfare of dogs. Together, we raised a total of ₹. 3,36,000. 

• The contributions came through bidding of 50 complimentary vouchers offered by Skålleagues from the hotel and travel industry, which raised ₹. 2,67,000.  ₹. 25,000 was contributed by the club. ₹. 44,000 through voluntary contributions from members. 

We extend our deepest gratitude to the 20+ Skålleagues who made this possible, including Aruna, Anju, Babu, Devaki, Geetha, Gita Menon, Haneef, Kamleshwaran, Krishnakumar Menon, Nagendra Prasad, Nitin Prabhakaran, Karthik, Pawan Kumar Gupta, Rajesh Elumalai, Sankaran Sekar, Sunil Rajankar, Suresh Somani, Suseendran, Thomas Varghese, and Vivek Choudary.

Contributions were remitted directly to the beneficiary's account, and a symbolic cheque was presented to Mr. Ramesh from PFA Tambaram, who in turn recognized our efforts with a commemorative plaque. 

Special thanks to our board members for their combined efforts in making SKÅL Cares 2026 a resounding success. 

A special appreciation also goes out to Past-President Gopinath, CEO of Residency Group of Hotels, and VP2 Venkatesh for graciously hosting this memorable valedictory event.
