Help needed to pull off Sunflower banquet
Funds raised will enable The Sunflower Fund to increase the number of people registered on the SA Bone Marrow Registry
THE Sunflower Fund appeals to residents to join its annual banquet committee.
They are looking for marketing, events and media gurus to join the committee and assist them in pulling off their biggest fundraiser yet.
The banquet will be held on July 1 at the Hilton Sandton, with the aim of raising funds in order to pay for the initial test cost for donors to register on the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR).
Tissue typing is a very costly procedure with the DNA molecular test costing The Sunflower Fund in the region of R2 000 a donor.
Funds raised from the annual banquet will enable The Sunflower Fund to create awareness, educate and recruit stem cell donors to increase the number of people registered on the South African Bone Marrow Registry.
Those interested can call Takalani Ramaphosa on 011-781-4200 or 076-141-3809.
