Cancer fundraising activities

The Walvis Bay Voluntary Committee of the Cancer Association of Namibia hosted several events and campaigns recently in order to raise funds in Aid of Cancer.
The highlight however, took place on 14th July when they hosted a Gala Event for the ladies, the-med “Be a Superhero for Cancer”. This event was attracted by local artist Priscilla – Queen of the Desert, whom had the ladies up on their feet with her entertainment and the performances of the Zumba Dancers of School of Dance and the Evolve Fire & Entertainment. Such a spectacular event would not have been possible without the help and support from the Walvis Bay Community.
The Committee would like to thank all the loyal supporters and sponsors towards making this event such a huge success. A total amount of N$61 556.00 was raised and handed over to the Cancer Association of Namibia.
During that event, the organizer of the Rough and Tough Ralley, Mrs Rene Baard, also handed over a cheque donation in the amount of N$138 000.00 to the CEO of CAN, Mr Rolf Hansen. This fund-raising campaign took place for the first place in Namibia.
Furthermore, the National Cancer Walk took place on Saturday, 15. 11 Town across Namibia participated in this campaign. All the Spar franchises in Namibia had been incorporated this year to create the awareness of Cancer. In Walvis Bay a total amount of N$16 700.00 was raised during this campaign.
The Walvis Bay Team and the Cancer Association of Namibia would like to thank all to their loyal supporters for their support during this year.
