Radio personality Martin Bester performed live at the Irish Rock Pub in Little Falls to raise funds for one of Randfontein’s local non-profit organisations, No More Tears Animal Rescue.
According to the organisation’s founder and director, Stephan Hendricks, Martin performed on March 1 to raise funds for the organisation.
Stephan explained that Liezel Hefer, the organiser, sent an email to Martin asking him if he could help the organisation with a fundraiser, to which Martin agreed.
Stephan stated that there were about 250 people who attended the event. According to Stephan, R40 000 was raised and 280kg of cat and dog food was donated.
“The event was incredibly successful since it was the largest fundraiser we have ever had. It taught us that the organisation can be improved,” Stephan claimed.
“We have big plans for the organisation. Therefore we need to start with big fundraisers. For a long time, No More Tears only existed. Now we have to reach a point and make the decision to grow. We have been working incredibly hard these past few days.
“Every day has its challenges. Some days are more challenging than others, but we are making a difference. One animal at a time. Thank you, No More Tears Team. Thank you to all the Randfontein supporters who came to support our event,” Stephan concluded.
