This is what it is all for.

Tonight, we heard from our scholars and alumni, whose stories brought the impact of the Kay Mason Foundation to life. Big dreams, hard work and futures made possible through the generosity of people who chose to believe in them.

Then came the auction.

And what an auction it was. An incredible amount was raised to help more young people access the education, support and opportunities they need to change the course of their lives.

Tonight, generosity became possibility.

Before dinner, a few words that matter.

Founder Richard Mason and Chairperson Siphosethu Sethu Pama-Koliti took to the stage this evening to reflect on the work behind The Hummingbird Ball, the young people at the heart of it, and the power of giving them the opportunity to realise their potential.

Then, of course, there was dinner.

An evening of purpose, generosity and plenty to celebrate.

Reporting live from the red carpet at The Hummingbird Ball.

The arrivals are in, the glamour is at an all-time high, and Cape Town has dressed for the occasion.

But tonight is about more than a beautiful room and unforgettable looks. The Hummingbird Ball raises vital support for the Kay Mason Foundation, helping young South Africans access quality education and the support they need to realise their potential.

A very good reason to get dressed up.

A young person’s contribution can take many forms.

An idea that becomes a business. The dedication to care for others. The courage to stand up for a community. The patience to teach.

Education helps young people develop their abilities and discover where they want to make a difference.

On 7 October, the Hummingbird Ball brings us together to support the Kay Mason Foundation and scholars working towards our shared future.

Together, we help possibility grow. Discover what we’re coming together for:

They’re in classrooms, asking questions, discovering their strengths and growing into strong leaders. One might build a business. Another might become a teacher who changes how children see themselves. Another might find an answer to a problem we’re still trying to solve.

Their futures are their own to shape. We can help create opportunities for them to explore.

The Hummingbird Ball supports the Kay Mason Foundation’s work, helping scholars access quality education and the academic, emotional, and practical support to pursue their ambitions.

Play your part in the future today.

Who helped you see what you were capable of?

Perhaps a teacher who encouraged you, a family member who believed in you, or a mentor who helped you find your next step.

Young people need that encouragement as they discover their own strengths and ambitions.

The Kay Mason Foundation helps scholars access quality education, with academic, emotional, and practical support along the way.

The Hummingbird Ball brings people together to help create lasting, positive change in people’s lives.

Together, we help possibility grow.

Our new look is officially live!

The letters “K,” “M,” and “F” in our icon are our roots made visible. Every colour, every symbol, every pattern carries the energy of possibility.

It's what we call our joy engine, and it keeps turning because our support network shares the vision of a more sustainable, fairer future led by bold, principled and compassionate leaders whose character is shaped not by privilege, but by purpose.

Our refreshed website offers the fullest picture of the new visual identity – please feel free to pop in and have a look ➡️ www.kmf.org.za

Once again, thank you for being a part of our story. Because of the work your support enables, the next chapter is going to be remarkable.

Fresh look. Same heart.

We're ecstatic to announce that we're moving to a brand new space. Our new office is bright, airy and ready to be filled with good conversations, lots of laughter and fresh possibilities.

While our building may be changing, the heart of The KMF remains the same: the same familiar faces, the same values, and the same commitment to supporting and empowering young leaders.

From Monday, 25 May, you’ll find us at:

Unit 4
19 Bella Rosa Street
Rosenpark
Cape Town
7550

The good news is that the public transport route remains very similar, making the move a little easier for everyone.

We can’t wait to welcome our scholars, families and community into this new chapter as we continue growing together.
