Event organizer Pooja Mehta discusses the origins of the Raj Mehta Day of Good

April 15 may be known as Tax Day, but for many in the Triangle and beyond-it has also become a day dedicated to kindness, connection and community. The Raj Mehta Day of Good is held annually on April 15 in memory of Raj Mehta, organized by his sister, Pooja Mehta, to honor what would have been his birthday. Raj Mehta died by suicide in March 2020. He was an engineering student at Duke University who, according to loved ones, left a lasting impact on the people around him. In the years since his passing, Pooja Mehta has led the effort to transform the day into one of positivity and action. She joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the Raj Mehta Day of Good.
