As a fitting end of season tribute to the community
Gold Circle offered free marquees to 13 charity organisations at
horseracing’s marathon, the Cannon Gold Cup. Invited guests helped
fill the coffers of a broad spectrum of charity organisations ranging
from child welfare to lifesaving, while enjoying a fun-filled day
of fashion and equine excitement.
Organisers for the various charity organisations were unanimous
in their appreciation for the hospitality tents, which were filled
to capacity. PRO for Phoenix Hospice, Esay Reddy (pictured on right,
with fundraiser Kogie Naidoo) said that the funds raised on the
day would be used in an effort to find a permanent home for Phoenix
Hospice that will become a fully equipped care centre in the northern
region of Durban.
Judge Zac Yacoob (pictured centre) with Bobby Pillay (left) and
Paul Singh patron of the Southern Light Association of the Blind
And Deaf expressed his gratitude for the charity effort. Judge Yacoob
said: “Blessed are those of able mind, body and health and blessed
is he who gives to those who aren’t”.
