As per KL Rahul, "The auction is our way of supporting the incredible work that Vipla Foundation does in providing a great learning environment to children." "My first visit to the school was very emotional and the children inspired me to contribute in whatever way I could to this great initiative that Athiya's family has been part of. The auction is our way of supporting the incredible work that Vipla Foundation does in providing a great learning environment to children. When I reached out to the cricket fraternity, they were just as supportive in donating their precious cricket items for this great cause. By participating in the auction and bidding for the memorabilia, each bidder is joining us in making a difference in the lives of these truly special children," he added.
