The TCS World 10K Bengaluru 2026 journey culminated in a celebration of purpose, perseverance, and collective impact at the official Awards & Recognition Ceremony. The event brought together participating NGOs, fundraisers, partners, and supporters to recognise the remarkable efforts that transformed every kilometre run into meaningful change.
For Neonates Foundation of India, the ceremony marked the successful conclusion of a campaign that united individuals, communities, corporates, healthcare professionals, and young changemakers under one shared mission: to give every newborn a fighting chance.
A proud moment for the Foundation was seeing Mrs. Tanya Bali receive the award on behalf of NFI, recognising the extraordinary impact of the Be The Reason campaign. Another inspiring highlight was Tia Bali being honoured as the Highest Fundraising Young Leader, a testament to how young voices can lead meaningful change and inspire an entire community to rally behind a cause.
The campaign also received wider recognition through a feature in the official TCS World 10K Magazine, highlighting NFI’s mission, the growing Be The Reason movement, and the collective efforts that brought neonatal care into the spotlight on one of India’s biggest fundraising platforms.
Together, the campaign raised an incredible ₹41.5 lakhs in support of critically ill and premature newborns across India, helping ensure that more families can access timely, life-saving neonatal care when they need it most.
The ceremony also celebrated several landmark achievements for Neonates Foundation of India:
- Only NGO to receive the Gold Level Fundraiser recognition
- 3rd Highest Fundraising NGO across all participating organisations
- Highest Fundraising NGO in the Healthcare Category
- Tia Bali recognised as the Highest Fundraising Young Leader and Champion for NFI
These recognitions reflect far more than fundraising milestones. They represent the growing strength of a movement built on compassion, community, and the belief that every newborn deserves the opportunity to survive and thrive.
To everyone who chose to run, donate, advocate, and believe in the mission, thank you for helping turn hope into action. Every contribution has brought Neonates Foundation of India one step closer to ensuring that no fragile beginning is left without the care it deserves.
The Awards Ceremony was more than a celebration of achievements.
It was a celebration of a movement.
A movement proving that when people come together with purpose, every tiny life has a greater chance at a brighter future.
