Sadly, I was unable to make it this year as I was away that weekend for another celebration, so I sent my bestie, blog correspondent, and total hottie Tarryn and the fab Claire from The Studio Group to check it out in my place. This is what went down. Word and photos from Tdog.
I personally look forward to 5 for Change every
year as it’s the one time that you get to really go all out and dress to the
nines. We're talking black tie here, proper "New York Charity Ball"
Black tie, long gorgeous dresses for the ladies and penguin suits for the guys.
Now some people in Cape Town get this perfectly right, others clearly didn’t
read the memo, which is a little disappointing, but this year most people
seemed to make a wonderful effort and it was truly an event to remember.
5 for Change is an annual black tie fundraiser
dedicated to raising awareness about five inspiring social enterprises which
are changing the way Cape Town gives back.
This year the 5 Beneficiaries involved truly
tugged at the heart strings, each one unique in their own way and using the
resources and people around them to encourage development through various ways
of skill providing and interaction. Everyone deserves a helping hand along the
way! Do yourself a favour and check them out.

The night involved getting to know some of the
beneficiaries a bit better and then it was onto the gorgeous canapes and some
great entertainment from Louise Day and The Kiffness, the bubbles flowed and
the auctioneer spoke too fast for me to understand a word he was saying, but
the bids kept coming, I even had a friend who bid on his own bid, he beat
himself in the end and took home some amazing wine ;)
All in all 5 for Change 2014 was an amazing
night, I danced until the lights came on and the heels came off! I will definitely
be back next year!
