Good Morning Angels High Tea and Golf Day
Over 700 of Gauteng’s top business and media people joined Jacaranda FM to celebrate, and further contribute to the station’s primary charity drive, Good Morning Angels, at the annual GMA High Tea and Golf Day.
The Vintage High Tea was hosted by Complimentary Breakfast hosts and Good Morning Angels champions, Dianne Broodryk and Rian van Heerden, while colleagues Maljan and Thabiso Khambule hosted the popular Golf Day.
The High Tea saw many highlights including star performers Bobby van Jaarsveld and Jacques Terre’blanche treating the crowds to rare swing performances, mixed with a few familiar favourites, as well as a surprise cameo melody by MC Rian van Heerden. Celebrity auctioneer, Joey Burke got the crowds riled up and purses opened by selling off various sponsored prizes including an Arthur Kaplan gift to the value of R 22 000. To add to the day’s decadence Dianne surprised the crowd with a characteristic Oprah moment when she gave the entire High Tea crowd Annique goodie bags.
Celebrities in attendance included: Lisa Bronner, Rikus Nel, Roeleen Strauss, Victor Matfield, Kevin Leo, Mathys Roets, Jakkie Louw, Melinda Bam, Adriaan Bergh, The Unlimited Titans and various others.
The 2014 edition proved the biggest GMA event yet having raised over R 1 million; improving on the 2013 showing which raised R 900 000. All the money was made from event tickets sales and auctioned-off items. The money will go back into the Good Morning Angels fund for the next year.
About Good Morning Angels
Started in 2005, Good Morning Angels is Jacaranda FM’s primary charity initiative with Dianne Broodryk of The Complimentary Breakfast as the charity’s principal custodian.
The Good Morning Angels idea was born from the realization that there are many individuals, companies and interest groups around who are eager to help uplift the community, but lack the platform to do so. In the same vein, Jacaranda FM was aware of the many needs in our communities, and thus sought a way to connect the two entities.
Over the past nine years, Good Morning Angels has consistently achieved its primary goal: to make the world of our listeners and their loved ones a better place, through the kindness of sponsors. Good Morning Angels is extremely blessed by the unwavering support and assistance from our various sponsors.
Through the contributions from individuals, companies and support organisations, Good Morning Angels is able to better the lives of at least 62 families or community projects each year.
