THE Sunflower Fund revisited an era of definitive splendour at its recent 13th annual Black and White Charity Ball at the Southern Sun Elangeni Hotel.
Fine wine, food and thrilling entertainment highlighted the evening which aimed to raise funds for The Sunflower Fund.
Speaking at the event, regional manager, Steph Berry, said she believed no one should die because there weren’t enough donors on the South African Bone Marrow Registry.
“The Sunflower Fund is dedicated to creating awareness and actively recruiting stem cell donors for the Registry. There are now currently 74 000 registered donors in South Africa,” she said. Steph told the Starfish Story, emphasising how people can start making a difference by helping one person at a time.
Guests were treated to performances by SA band Rubber Duc, as well as by Liam and Jane Magna from Veranda Panda, and special guest Samantha Landers. Taryn-Lee Buys, was the compere for the evening. Ten auction items from a pamper and fashion package to several travel packages were up for grabs and renowned fashion designers Bianca Warren, Karen Monk-Klijnstra, Kathrin Kidger and Sibu Msimang all created two signature items which were awarded to significant individuals at the event.
