Lots of fun at Bracken Family Fun Day
The community came together to celebrate the festive season and make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
This years’ Bracken Family Fun Day, hosted by Habibi Properties powered by TAAA in collaboration with Ward 38, took place on December 9 at Jackon Dam, Brackenhurst.
The festivities of the day were filled with joy, laughter and most importantly, a chance to make a positive impact on the community. The excitement in Brackenhurst and Brackendowns was noticeable as residents eagerly anticipated the return of the annual event.
The event started in 2016 with Clr Thavha Maifala-Masebe and the highlight of this year was the charity drive aimed at supporting several worthy organisations, including Dare 2 Care, CPF, SAPS and APN.
The focus of the drive was the collection of pre-loved items, with a special emphasis on boys and baby clothing, toys, books, cutlery, cookery, bedding, blankets, matric dance dresses and suits. The fun day was organised by Nikita and Chantelle Habibi.
Despina and Chris Kandralidis dressed as Santa and Mrs Claus and handed out sweets to the children. There were many stalls selling products, food and beverages.
“We would like to say a special thank you to Despina and Chris Kandralidis, Brackendowns CPF, Brackendowns SAPS and all the security companies who came through especially ADT Fidelity who sponsored a jumping castle, free popcorn and sweet packs for the kiddies and brought their fire truck through. Our gratitude also goes to Mr and Mrs Hingley for bringing the classic cars and Donna for bringing her racing car,” said Nikita and Chantelle.
Further gratitude was expressed to the community for the overwhelming support in making this event possible.
