CPAA's Rose Day: Twenty two years ago CPAA initiated a patient-outreach program called Rose Day on September 22. It was a simple gesture to reach out and say you care and light up someone's life with a simple rose. Today Rose Day is a month long celebration for patients and their care-givers. Celebrities join CPAA in making this day a memorable one. Rose Day creates a platform for supporters to connect with our cause while bringing magic moments for patients through song, dance and flowers; and at the bottom of all this is the goodwill of common people, ready to give of themselves. Variety entertainment programmes with special performances by acclaimed artists were held at the following hospitals and medical institutes across the cities of Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune at: ACTREC, AIIMS New Delhi, Asha Cancer Hospital, Balabhai Nanavati, Bharti Hospital and Research Center, Boman Dhabur, Cama Hospital, Cipla Palliative Centre, Command Hospital, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Dr. Tilak Hospital, Garib Nawaz, Indrayani Hospital, Inlaks and Buddhrani Hospital, Jehangir Hospital, KEM Hospital, Mhaskar Hospital, Masina Hospital, Nair Hospital, Nana Palkar Dharamshala, Noble Hopsital, Noori Baug, Parsi General Hospital, Prince Ali Khan Hospital, Ruby Hall Hospital, Shanti Avedna Sadan, Sahyadri Hospital, Sasson Hospital, Sion Hospital, St. Judes Center, Tata Memorial Hospital, B J Wadia Hospital and CPAA's Rehabilitation Centre.
