The cause of Cancer Prevention through Early Detection was supported in 2011. In the year 2012 it focused on prevention of Cervical Cancer.

Going beyond the drive, it includes workshops, pre-event party and cancer camps in Mumbai and Pune. Women from varied walks of life come together to participate in this event and show their support. Celebrities flagged off the event, making way for the drive to Lavasa, which then culminates with an award ceremony and dinner.
