Founder of the baby home, Jo Teunissen, said the goal of the ball was to raise awareness on adoption.
“The whole idea behind the ball, which falls on World Adoption Day, was to use it as a fundraiser for the home but also to create awareness around adoption. I think many people see it as a rigmarole and we hope the event would highlight the success stories and it’s just a beautiful opportunity to share and celebrate adoption.
“We also wanted to use the event to celebrate the adoptions we have had and create awareness of what we do. The turn out and support from last year was great and we are hoping for more of the same this year,” she said.
There will be loads of raffles and prizes up for grabs at the ball. The Glitter Girls will also be performing on the evening.Tickets cost R550 per person. For more information or to book a ticket, email jo@peaceagency.org.za.
