Local pub gets its party on for a good cause
The're having a party, and it's for cancer.
On Saturday, 12 November, the Oribi Pub in Greenhills was buzzing with cancer supporters who got their party on for a good cause.
Each year, during the month of November, the pub hosts a fundraiser for men with cancer. Last Saturday’s party had a cross-dressing theme, with all the men were urged to dress like women and vice versa to add to the fun. The pub was filled with a great vibe and and even better intentions.
“Every donation we receive this month goes to the Movember Foundation which funds game-changing men’s health projects,” said Marina Stander, Oribi Pub Movember Foundation organiser.
According to Tercia van der Merwe, owner of Oribi Pub, their aim is to double last year’s donations.
“Last year we received a total of R2 000 and we are almost certain that we will exceed the R4 000 mark this year,” she said.
To top it all off, Rian van Heerden, Jacaranda FM’s Complimentary Breakfast Show host also paid a visit to the pub as part of his big 42-hour, 30-party marathon.
“It was a great pleasure having him here. Today is definitely a success, but we wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without the staff and the clients,” Tercia concluded.
