Red Carpet event for Tafta's 60th
Category News
Tafta is preparing to start a year-long campaign to commemorate its anniversary with a red carpet movie screening next month.
Tafta looks after the well-boing and independance of elders. Known for providing superior care, compassion, meals and shelter, but, more importantly love, laughter and a helping hand through six decades of dedicated service and care focused primarily on the needs of the elderly and vulnerable groups. Tafta has earned its reputation as one of South Africa's leading, registered NPO's.
Divisional manager, income development and marketing, Gail Samuels said:"This red carpet event affords us the opportunity to bring together key stakeholders, corporates and the community at large for an evening of glitz and entertainment while also highlighting the plight of the eldrerly and encouraging further engagement." The Independent on Saturday expressed delight to be able to support Tafta's red carpet event as a way of giving recognition to the wonderful work being done to allow older people to have fulfilling and independent lives.
At the event, on August 11, at 7pm at Suncoast CineCentre, guests will be treated to a cocktail evening with light entertainment and a premier showing of the movie The Circle, a futuristic thriller featuring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks.
The film is filled with intriguing questions about the balance of our social and professional lives and how they intermingle, and whether, with increased surveillance and the knowledge that we're being watched, our behaviour would gradually improve.
Tickets cost R200 and include popcorn and a Coke, and will be entered into a draw with one guest standing a chance to win a getaway for four people.
MD of the Avalon Group AB Moosa said he was pleased to be associated with Tafta and praised the positive contribution the organisation had made over the years to the lives of the elderly.
