The market aimed to raise funds for the Mix 93.8FM Baby Blessings Campaign which collects and distributes supplies to young moms and toddlers in need. A portion of all stand revenue and every holiday sold from the market will be donated.

Tracy Sutherland, manager of The Square, said the event built on last year’s successful Nelson Mandela International Day campaign, also with Mix 93.8FM’s Baby Blessings Campaign. “We all live for one another and through collaboration and partnerships, it is possible to make a greater impact on the lives of fellow citizens who really need assistance. It is our philosophy as a neighbourhood centre and we are appreciative of every ounce of support,” said Sutherland.

Sanny Mlotana, programme manager for Mix 93.8FM said the station’s roots lay in its community and the neighbourhood that they served. He added the market presented the perfect opportunity for entrepreneurs to display their goods to new customers and all this while contributing to a good cause.
