A MASQUERADE ball fundraiser which was hosted for the Decibel Cochlear Campaign raised R 28 000. The first annual ‘Masquerade Ball’ was organised by Sonel Steyn (MDSA KZN regional fundraising manager). MDSA – Miss, Mr and Mrs Deaf South Africa is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the lives of many people living without the ability to hear.
The event which was held at the Kloof Country Club included a grand auction, a fashion show and an after-party.
“The money raised will be used to finance and support one of the three selected candidates each year to have a cochlear implant.
“The event featured Emanuel Pietersen as the MC for the evening. Janie Erasmus, current Miss Deaf SA and Miss Deaf World and Dr K Schlemmer were the guest speakers for the evening,” said Steyn
