IMPORTANCE OF PLAYPLAY2LEARNSAFE SPACE
On January 19, 2025, Universal Legal proudly participated in the Tata Mumbai Marathon, supporting The Opentree Foundation and its mission to ensure every child’s Right to Play. The Opentree Foundation believes in the transformative power of play — fostering creativity, emotional resilience, and social skills that are essential for a child’s holistic development.
A long-time supporter of The Opentree Foundation, Universal Legal joined hands once again with renowned artist and our very own Play Ambassador, Arzan Khambatta, who not only ran to spread awareness but also helped raise vital funds — ensuring more children gain access to safe, structured, and meaningful play. The team’s energy and enthusiasm beautifully reflected the spirit of play: vibrant, inclusive, and full of joy.
Here’s what the Universal Legal team had to say:
“Participating in the Dream Run at the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025 was a truly memorable experience for all of us. We were proud to support The Opentree Foundation, an extraordinary organisation we’ve been associated with since our inception in 2004. Their commitment to promoting the Right To Play is something we deeply resonate with. Play is not just fun — it’s foundational to a child’s development, and we’re honoured to amplify this message alongside them.”
“Our team brought the streets to life with colorful placards, creative props, and a whole lot of energy. It was more than a run — it was a celebration of a cause we believe in. The joy, camaraderie, and awareness we helped create on that day was truly heartwarming.”
“A heartfelt thank you to all the generous donors who helped make this initiative so impactful. Your contributions are creating real change — opening doors for more children to experience the joy and growth that comes from play. Your support means the world to us, and more importantly, to the children who benefit from The Opentree Foundation’s work.”
As we look back on this incredible journey, we are especially proud to mark our 20-year-long association with The Opentree Foundation. From humble beginnings to becoming a powerful advocate for child development through play, their journey has been inspiring. We are excited for what lies ahead as we continue this partnership and work together to make a lasting impact in the lives of children everywhere.”
