Annual Mum’s Mail High Tea a Glittering Success
The 13th Annual ‘Queen of the Desert’ Mum’s Mail High Tea in association with The Sunflower Fund was held on Friday 7 September at Durban’s Greyville Convention Centre. The Queen of the Desert theme had a fun ‘Arabian Nights/Moroccan’ vibe, and the 600 guests, all women, turned out in their magnificently themed outfits to support a great cause – The Sunflower Fund. The purpose of this annual event is to raise funds and awareness for The Sunflower Fund. This enables The Fund to give hope of life to patients diagnosed with life threatening blood disorders who are in need of a blood stem cell transplant. This year an amazing R260 000 was raised for this cause! Every guest went home with an amazing goodie bag packed with treats and a booklet full of vouchers from generous sponsors. For more information on The Sunflower Fund or how to become a stem cell donor, visit www.sunflowerfund.org.za or call toll free 0800 12 10 82.
