Glencoe: Sarel Cilliers High sells pink milkshakes in memory of Kylie
Bianca said the response on her Facebook post was so overwhelming that she decided to set up a special Facebook page called 'Pink Milkshakes for Kylie'.
On August 18, Sarel Cilliers staff and students sported pink ‘buffs’ (masks) in aid of charity. ‘Pink Milkshakes for Kylie’, an initiative started by a toddler’s parents after she died in a car accident two years ago, helps to raise funds for Meals on Wheels. Kylie Quinn Kruger died in a tragic car accident at the age of two on December 14, 2018. Her mom, Bianca, posted a message on Facebook last year on her birthday, asking friends and family to enjoy a pink milkshake for Kylie.
“This was a way of remembering her birthday, and pink milkshakes were her favourite. Every Sunday after church, we would go out for milkshakes and both she and my mom loved the pink ones the best,” explained Bianca Kruger.
