Renowned TV and media personality, Tanya Visser, did not fail to deliver at this year’s Annual Gardener Presentation in support of The Sunflower Fund and in association with Mpact Recycling and CC&A Insurance. This innovative online event took place on Wednesday 15th July 2020 via Facebook Live and guests from around the country tuned in for their fill of all things flora.
Tanya, also the owner and editor of The Gardener Magazine and host of The Home Channel’s popular show, ‘The Gardener’ on DSTV, walked guests through an exclusive presentation titled “On the Garden Path”. Tanya’s charismatic and passionate presentation was both informative and therapeutic for the mind and soul.
Nix O’Driscoll was the morning’s delightful compere and Allison Ekstrand of The Sunflower Fund inspired and enlightened guests about the many new exciting developments at the organisation including their partnership with DKMS – the largest network of donor centres in the world. A few lucky guests walked away with some fantastic lucky draws and raffle prize packages that alone totalled more the R11 600.
Valuable funds raised from the event will enable The Sunflower Fund to create awareness and education about blood stem cell donation, recruit more blood stem cell donors, grow the patient support fund and maintain a registry of committed donors. This in turn means greater hope of life for patients who are diagnosed with life-threatening blood diseases and who are in need of a blood stem cell transplant from a matching unrelated donor.

The Sunflower Fund wishes to thank Tanya Visser and The Gardener Magazine, Mpact Recycling, CC&A Insurance Brokers, Raw Media, Nix O’Driscoll and all associated prize sponsors.
