To celebrate Smiles Day, McCain Foods India transformed a local government upper primary school in Gurugram into a hub of joy, laughter, and high-spirited activities for over 300 children. Organized in partnership with the Annamrita Foundation, the event delivered an unforgettable day filled with interactive games, festive cheer and meaningful community impact.
Adding star power to the festivities, popular radio personality RJ Yogi from BIG FM took the centerstage, hosting lively games and entertaining the students with infectious energy. Amplifying the celebration beyond the schoolyard, BIG FM broadcasted a special on-air shout-out, sharing the heart-warming spirit of Smiles Day with millions of listeners across the region.
Underlining its commitment to nourishing local communities, McCain Foods India pledged 50,000 meals to the Annamrita Foundation to support childhood nutrition and development. To top off the celebration, every participating student received special non-food gift hampers from McCain, ensuring the day ended on an extra joyful note.
Reflecting on the milestone initiative, Amitabh Baxi, Director – External Affairs & Sustainability, McCain Foods India, said: “At McCain, we believe that true community engagement goes beyond corporate giving — it is about fostering genuine human connection and driving lasting, positive change. Smiles Day gave us a wonderful opportunity to spark pure joy for these brilliant children while strengthening our partnership with the Annamrita Foundation to safeguard childhood nutrition. We are thrilled to unite our teams and partners behind a mission that seamlessly blends celebration with a vital social cause.”
This initiative highlights McCain Foods India’s steadfast dedication to community upliftment and child well-being proving that a single day of celebration can fuel a long-term movement for social good.
