Celebrities show their support for Benoni charities
You have until June 16 to help these celebrities and charities.
Celebrities and Benonians, Chanley Wong and Ashish Gangapersad are proud to be ambassadors for the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation of South Africa (PCMFSA) charity drive, and would like you to get involved too.
PCMFSA founded the #strongtogether celebrity challenge campaign where celebrities each choose a charity and host drives to support them.
#strongtogether is a symbol of unity and solidarity encouraged by Monaco’s sovereign family Prince Albert II, who contracted and recovered from the coronavirus in March this year.
