Hirsch’s Supports Sunflower Fund
Hirsch’s in Hillcrest decided to support the Sunflower fund during an exuberating team building challenge. Each team member purchased a bandana in aid of the fund and used the exciting colours to distinguish the 4 teams competing. “We love to support worthy charities” says Hillcrests PRO Sarah Poulsom.
The Sunflower Fund was formed in 1999 in support of the SABMR and was inspired by Chris Corlett and Darren Serebro’s heroic struggle against leukaemia. It was formed by parents whose children had contracted leukaemia, and in some cases had lost their battle against it. Their aim was to secure financial support in order to increase the number of bone marrow stem cell donors in South Africa. With the odds of finding a donor being 1:100 000, the idea is to expand the registry to at least 100 000. You can help by joining the SABMR. All you have to do to be registered on the SABMR is to give two tubes of your blood. We need your fast response and long-term commitment.
