CELEBRITIES are expected to come together at a posh charity gala in Johannesburg next Friday in support of people infected and affected by HIV-Aids.
The event - themed Fighting Aids Beautifully - is an attempt to steer people’s perceptions away from the stereotypical notion that HIV-Aids mostly affects the poverty-stricken and underprivileged among us.
Scheduled for the Vilamoura Supperclub in the Sandton Sun Hotel, this Event – organized by the Ntsaluba Foundation, Celebrity Cherubs Charity-Aid and M-Net Cares – seeks to create a platform for the alleviation of socio-economic crises that are associated withthe disease.
The Fighting Aids Beautifully and the cause it supports, is aligned to M-Net’s CSI strategy, which is rooted in the philosophy of sustainable change. The event aims to raise funds for education and empowerment of our youth in fighting against the pandemic. The funds raised will provide assistance to beneficiaries that care for HIV/AIDS orphans and infected children.” Said Mnet’s Marketing Director, Koo Govender

He is also on TV Plus’s hotlist, as well as the 2012 Cosmopolitan’s Sexiest Men Calendar. “I'm honoured to be associated with the FAB event, raising funds and awareness for the TNF on World Aids Day.
"The calibre of auction items is far beyond the average Charity Event, and any self respecting sporting memorabilia collector shouldn't miss the chance to bid on the pieces." explains Keogh
"It is going to be a fun-filled night and a great opportunity for corporates to get behind a Charity that's making a real difference to the lives of so many South Africans. So open your hearts and show your support for this great cause by booking your table at the FAB event.” said Tyrone Keogh
