Forget blackouts, party for charity!

Forget blackouts, party for charity!

"Christmas is a time for fun, sun and forgetting about national problems, such as rolling blackouts. Sadly, for most of our population it's just another day of struggle, while others wake up to the reality of life-threatening disease. So a group of us who enjoy having a good time together decided to make a difference by doing what we do best - to throw a memorable and entertaining event in the true spirit of Christmas," said Patrick Craig, co-MD (SA) of 3 Blind Mice.

He continued: "While we'll offer our patrons a world-class experience to celebrate the end of a long, hard year - the line-up includes some of SA's finest artists, namely Goodluck, Beatenberg, The Kiffness and James Copeland - R25 of every ticket sold will be donated to two worthwhile charities."

The supported charities are Little Fighters Cancer Trust, which offers support to children with cancer and their families, and No Danger Diaries, a Cape-based social enterprise committed to making a difference while completing fun tasks such as abseiling in superhero outfits to try cheer up sick kids.

Craig said: "In addition to our financial contribution Butler's Pizza will be donating a quarter pizza - a symbol of the brand's 25 year anniversary this month - to Little Fighters Cancer Trust for every ticket sold. We are also encouraging everyone to bring along a toy that will be donated by the No Danger Diaries superheroes to kids at the Red Cross Children's Hospital."

Tickets from Webtickets:
• First 100 tickets: R100 (includes a R100 Butlers Pizza voucher)
• Tickets: R150 (includes a R100 Butlers Pizza voucher)

Please bring a donation of a children's toy.
