“In 2008, one of our dear friends was diagnosed with cancer and because he did not have medical aid to help cover all the treatments, we decided to start a foundation to help raise the funds. Back then we were doing what was called Vrede Fest,” explained event organiser, Rudi Norval.
Norval said, even though their friend lost the battle to cancer, they still continue to raise awareness and funding for The Vrede Foundation to help others.
The Vrede Foundation’s aim is to generate awareness among Young South Africans (aged 15-29) regarding cancer and at the same time raise funds to provide financial aid to Young South Africans with Cancer.
“There are many bands and musicians who put on performances to raise funds but our event is different in the sense that we have brought together South Africa’s favourite rock acts and created these amazing rock supergroups. It is a fun experience not only for them but also for the fans who believe in our cause.”
