plays host The Sunflower Fund's 2016 annual banquet.
Scheduled for the 12th of November, the event aims to raise funds in
order to pay for the initial test cost for donors to register on the
South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR).
Renowned comedian Nicholas Goliath, of the Goliath and Goliath fame,
is billed to keep guests bubbling with laughter as he hosts the event.
There will also be different acts on the day.
This event is a celebration of the lives of many patients who have
suffered or are still suffering from leukaemia and other blood
disorders.
"We are celebrating hope. We have timed the event to coincide with the
start of the annual year-end function season – offering an amazing
opportunity to kick off your festivities and support our life-saving
cause, as well," said Shelby Zimmerman, The Sunflower Fund's Gauteng
Region Manager.
Tickets cost R1000 per person or R10 000 per table of 10.
Increasing the number of donors listed on the SABMR offers hope to the
hundreds of South Africans with blood diseases whose only chance of
survival is a stem cell transplant.
The Sunflower Fund relies solely on financial assistance from its
dedicated funders and through funds raised through initiatives such as
the Sunflower Fund Annual Banquet.
