THE Cell C Playing for Pink Ladies Invitational Polo event will return to Johannesburg on Sunday, October 2.
The event’s main aim is to support breast cancer survivors and will take place at the Inanda Club in Sandton for the second year running.
This prestigious event is presented by Edith Unlimited in partnership with leading network provider Cell C. This year’s theme, ‘Pink Circus’ will see hundreds of polo enthusiasts flocking to the Inanda Club to enjoy a day of pampering and high fashion.
The polo event will mainly see women polo players competing in the various teams against each other.
The event is aimed at raising funds for Reach for Recovery’s Ditto Project, an initiative in benefit of women from low-income groups who wish to undergo reconstructive surgery and don’t necessarily have access to the funds to do so.
Suzette van der Merwe, managing executive of the Cell C Foundation said, “Cell C is honoured to again be part of this wonderful event in aid of supporting the recovery of breast cancer survivors. We at Cell C continue to focus our CSI initiatives on empowering and uplifting women in our country. This year we hope to raise more funds to help Reach for Recovery with the incredible work that they are doing.”
“With one in every 26 South African women across all race groups likely to get breast cancer in their lifetime, and not everyone being able to afford reconstructive surgery after undergoing a mastectomy, we identified the need to commit ourselves to women empowerment. Enter the Cell C Playing for Pink Ladies Invitational Polo Event, specifically designed to help raise funds for those who wouldn’t have otherwise been able to help themselves,” said Edith Venter, event organiser.
Tickets to the event are available at TicketPro. Corporates can order their VIP tickets by contacting Edith Unlimited on 011 783 5887 or at www.edithunlimited.co.za.
