GIVE A HELPING HAND

TO SAVE
A HEART

The Boikanyo Foundation has formed a vital and unique partnership with the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital to increase the number of children receiving life-saving heart surgery through the hospital’s paediatric cardiothoracic surgery department.

The foundation provides funds to cover financial shortfalls for consumables in cases where other available public funding is insufficient.

Our aim is to help save at least 24 young people every year through these surgeries. But we can only do this with help from people like you. At only R50 000.00 per surgery, any and all donations to our foundation helps contribute to another life changed and another life saved.

Dress up, let your hair down and come help save a life while enjoying an evening of cocktails, dinner, entertainment and much more.
On arrival our valet service will securely park your car while you are ushered to cocktails on the rooftop with a one of a kind 360-degree view of Johannesburg city as the sun sets, and the inner city lights up below you.
Then join us for an unforgettable dinner and immerse yourself in entertainment in true ‘Marabi’ style, to forget the hardships of another working week.
In the Marabi Jazz Club, one of Jozi’s hottest and most authentic music and dining experiences, dance the night away while enjoying our open bar and amazing dinner.

No need to buy a full table, we’ll arrange your table according to the number of guests you bring along.

Please RSVP to Nicola at nicola@boikanyo.org by no later than 26 January 2025, and she will respond with more details.

Together, we can continue to transform lives and create a brighter, healthier future for children facing heart conditions.

Join us on this incredible journey by getting involved today! Together, let’s drive change and make a difference, one heart at a time. 🚀🌍
