The DAC Ladies team, sailing on Jalapeño the J22, had an ABBA/ Mamma Mia themed fundraiser in April 2022 to raise funds to support their campaign for the 2022 Marriot J22 World Championships in Durban this July.
The evening was well enjoyed by the DAC members and many friends supporting our cause. Your generous contributions by attending the evening is hugely appreciated. The dinner raised R5 600. During the evening, raffle tickets were sold an prizes drawn and the proceeds pushed our fund to R9 760. We are further thankful for the donations, both on the night and those still being received which have swelled our piggy bank to a total of R26 610.
We could not have had this incredibly successful evening without our organisers Victoria, Lizzie, Amanda, Henriette and their team. We would also like to thank DAC for hosting the event, Sharon and her team, and everyone who sponsored the countless generous contributions towards the event. Special thanks to the following for adding a special touch of magic to the night: My Grandfather’s Cat Brewery for the beer&gin and beer&rum raffles, Doghouse Cheese for their cheese raffle, Chris Curry for the great music and his time, Pierre van Rensburg for the wine raffle and Kyle Harvey for the radio controlled boat raffle.
We would also like to specially thank Brad & Ann Woolley, the Van Beek family, Kobus de Villiers, and Ray van Rensburg of Geotron Systems P/LT for their various donations. We hope that we have not missed anyone in naming the wonderful contributions, sponsorships and donations that you have gifted us with. If we have missed someone, please let us know as we would like to thank them personally.
We are excited to be on this journey with the support of everyone helping us during our preparation and lead up to worlds. The money raised to date will cover our entry fee, accommodation, travel and boat transport for the world championships. As part of our preparation, we will also be participating in the J22 KZN Provincials 16 to 19 June 2022. We hope that there will be surplus funds to cover the accommodation and entry for this event as well as our coach boat’s fuel.
