THE GREEN EARTH BALL IN
AID OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN GUIDE-DOGS ASSOCIATION FOR THE BLIND
Over the past nine years, the
legendary themed winter ball in aid of the SA Guide-Dogs Association
for the Blind (SAGA) has become an eagerly anticipated annual event,
and is regarded as a premier charity event on the South African
social calendar. This year will be no different! Visit their

Organised
in association with Montecasino, and with Edith Venter
lending her warm and generous nature as patron of the event,
the ball provides a high profile platform for corporate
sponsors, celebrities and private individuals to join hands
in making SAGA’s puppies dreams come true – that is, to be
the life-long partner and furry friend to a visually
disabled person. Not only does this enchanting event
highlight the stark reality of the blind, but it also
signifies the dedication and enthusiasm that SAGA has exuded
for 56 years in training dogs to assist the visually
disabled, and in so doing improving their quality of life.
This year for the first time, the ball will also highlight
another global concern - the plight of our environment and
the need to cut back on our reckless expenditure of our
rapidly depleting resources.
Montecasino, the venue sponsor for last year’s “Socialite”
Winter Ball, where in excess of R400 000 was raised for
SAGA, will again provide the perfect backdrop for the night
of intrigue and excitement guests have come to expect of
this annual charity event. Gauteng’s premier entertainment
destination, Montecasino, features dynamic themes, facades
and water features guaranteed to lend to the earthy
atmosphere of this year’s theme – GREEN EARTH.
Add
to this Revlon as a partner with their fresh fragrances and
warm colours, who will also be using the event to launch
their new fragrance for woman, aptly named Almay Pure
Blends, and their Radar men’s fragrance, Môreson, with their
delicious connoisseur wines to create a relaxing and stylish
atmosphere, a sumptuous fully organic menu and superb
entertainment, and you will have an ideal context for
corporations to host preferential clients and relationship
partners in an environment of gracious hospitality,
generosity and eco-friendliness.
If you would like to
