Rock to 80s groove for a good cause
Central’s Roof Garden Bar will rock to the vinyl frontier next week when Charity Networking Events (CNE) presents a 1980s party.
CNE organisers Megan Holden and Chantellé Ferreira are hosting the fundraiser on Thursday October 4 in aid of Alzheimer’s SA, with the tagline “it’s going to be unforgettable”.
DJ Shane will be on the vinyl.
“Besides the donation to the chosen charity, a collection is also held for physical goods which support the worthy cause,” Holden said.
Alzheimer’s SA helps families face the challenge of dementia, which often is accompanied by memory loss.
The Eastern Cape branch is headed by Dr Heather Rauch, a social worker specialising in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The regional branch offers a clinic in Walmer, Gqebera and Grahamstown and facilitates support groups in various communities. It also helps train community-based caregivers, clinic staff, social workers, teachers, church and community leaders.
Next week’s fundraiser will focus on the decade known for fashion trends such as legwarmers, shoulder pads, big hair, blue mascara and oversize blazers.
Tickets are R160 (R300 per couple), which includes a welcome drink and boerewors.
The party starts at 7pm, there is a cash bar and there will be prizes for best-dressed guests.
