The showcase will include an exclusive ballet variety performance followed by a raffle and auction.

The company manager at Joburg Ballet, Chase Bosch said he first came into contact with the foundation before lockdown when he and his partner donated some toys to TBF.

“After doing some reading up on the great work they are doing, I decided that so much more needed to be done,” added Bosch.

Donor liaison officer at the foundation Dalene Bishop said, “In my mind, this packages together so many positive elements for children today. This fundraiser is supporting animals, dance and TBF. These are all things I believe children should have access to as it is good for their minds, bodies and souls.”

Bishop added that funds raised for the foundation through the event would be used to give hope to the hopeless by taking them through the services offered at the foundation.

Bishop said funding for the foundation was always an issue, but presently they were in need of toiletries and food parcels to assist young families who benefitted from their services.
