The festivities begin at 6:00 PM with the opening of the cash bar. Mingle with friends you haven’t seen in ages and bid on our exciting silent auction items.

Dinner featuring authentic South African cuisine will be provided by friends like you. Your dish will become part of the buffet style dinner we will enjoy. Bring your appetite!

Let’s introduce our Canadian friends to a unique experience afforded by our culture. To accomplish this, we ask you to invite your Canadian pals to join you at a table that seats eight. If they haven’t already done so, get them to taste cabbage bredie or bobotie at its finest.

Our live entertainers for the evening will be the talented Rachel Stephens & Mariah Dantu!

Our DJ Craig Robinson will keep you on the dance floor all night long!!

Dress is party festive!! What does this mean? Whatever you want it to mean.

Net proceeds of the evening will be donated to Rena Le Lona. This nonprofit organization located in Soweto has been thoroughly investigated and exists to comfort children orphaned as a result of AIDS. Please visit their web site to read more. Rena le Lona
