Our Golden Light Gala Evening was an elegant, fun filled evening with good food, beautiful decor and great music. We also spent time reflecting on our theme of hope and healing and the memory board was filled with golden bows. We closed off the evening listening to the beautiful song ‘ Let there be Light’ by Lira as we switched our phone lights on and raised them in the air. We want to thank each person who supported us and gave so generously. Also a big thank you to the Corporate table supporters, our incredible sponsors and DJ Alister and his audiovisual man, Simon.

Our annual 'Cuppa for Cancer' was a huge success. It was held this year at SACS Junior Hall and we had a bumper crowd who enjoyed delicious treats provided by the table hosts and beautiful music provided by Kevin and Claire Dublin and their backing band. We were also blessed to have Dr. Nerushka Naidoo as our guest speaker. Dr Naidoo is a surgeon in private practice who has a passion for educating families about healthy lifestyles, especially for kids. Our event coincided with Mandela Day this year and we were able to auction a painting of Madiba that was generously donated by renowned Suurbrak artist, Donovan Julius. Thanks to all who helped make this a succesful day. A special 'big thank you' to the 'Ari's Angels' from Fairmont Secondary School who helped as servers!
Make sure you don't miss out at our Cuppa for Cancer 2027!

We would like to express our gratitude to SheerGuard SA for their professional services rendered at Tygerberg Care Home, where they assisted us with certain upgrades currently underway. They significantly enhanced the safety of the young cancer patients by installing SheerGuard bars on the windows. As part of their Youth Month commitment, they went above and beyond by not only offering a discounted rate for their work, but also providing lively goodies for the children.
