Countdown begins for home’s birthday bash
Malvern Child and Youth Care Centre invites you to celebrate their 53 year milestone. You also stand a chance of winning some exciting prizes.
THERE’S a buzz of excitement in the air as the Malvern Child and Youth Care Centre gets ready to pull out all the stops to celebrate their 53 year anniversary milestone this Saturday, 5 November. Gates open at 10am and every R10 adult entrance ticket will automatically go into a draw to win a seven night luxury vacation for four people.
“This fantastic prize has been sponsored by the Vacation Club to add excitement to our 53rd Birthday Bash. The winning ticket holder will have the choice of a luxury holiday from a list of 20 popular holiday destinations countrywide. Among the many other lucky draw prizes are two combo tickets to Phezulu Safari Park for a family of four and a sail around Durban harbour for four people on one of SAIL Africa’s 26-foot sailing yacht,” said PR and fundraising manager, Lee Jarrett.
Along with food and beverage stalls, there’s a non-stop entertainment line-up that includes a special visit by Sharkie who will be making his way from the Shark Tank to join the party. Also on the programme is Durban’s favourite K9 Smart Dog Show, dazzling Bollywood and Street Dance performances, live music courtesy of the DHS Brass band and local favourite, Gerhard Supra will be performing some of the hits from his newly launched CD.
“Not to be missed is the Malvern Child and Youth Care Centre’s very own choir who will be performing a special rendition of Happy Birthday. Mrs India 2014, Tracy Maharaj, will round-up the entertainment programme by doing the honour of drawing the winning ticket of the seven-night luxury vacation as well as the handover of the other fantastic prizes to be won on the day,” said Jarrett.
The Kid’s Fun Zone will provide loads of excitement with the Menagerie’s popular wild creatures plus there will be a variety of activity booths, games and fun rides. To top things off, His Kingdom Riders will be stopping by in full force to rev up the party and make sure it is a roaring success. Tickets will be sold at the gate at R10 each for adults and R5 for children under 18 years. The programme starts at 10am and runs until 2pm, so get there early to avoid missing out on any of the entertainment.
53 Birthday Club
To mark the occasion, Jarrett said they will be introducing a first-ever 53 Birthday Club with the aim of signing up 53 debit orders of just R100 a month for a period of one year. “With the support of the community, this will enable us to raise R63 600 to pay for the upgrade of our Solar Power self-sustainability project. In these tough economic times we need to focus on ways to reduce our electricity costs and ensure that we are supporting a greener future for our children,” she said.
