 Find the space you need in a home you love. Private property, a home for everyone. The Mums Mail High Tea was a colourful soiree in celebration of women as well as acting as a fundraiser and awareness event for the Sunflower Fund to give hope to patients with life-threatening blood disorders. This is the 12th annual Mums Mail High Tea in association with the Sunflower Fund and the whole purpose of the event is to raise much-needed money to build the bone marrow registry of South Africa so that when somebody with leukemia is diagnosed they have a better chance of finding their one in 100,000 match but on the actual day it's not sad and serious it's all about fun fun fun so the ladies arrive to free cappuccinos, free champagne, free ice cream, free posing with gorgeous hunks by the name of Poseidon, there's shopping, there's pampering, there's so much excitement, lots of raffle prizes worth over 85,000 yen today, surprise envelopes, lots of delicious food and just fun fun fun and the ladies love it because they go home with mess of goodie bags groaning under the weight. The Sunflower Fund is the only organisation in South Africa to raise awareness around the need for blood stem cell donors. We educate the public on the donor process as well as raise the funds for the very expensive tissue-typing test cost. An event of this magnitude has a huge impact on the Sunflower Fund with 650 ladies attending they can spread a whole lot of awareness and of course the funds that we raise from an event like this gives hope of life to patients and their families, patients that suffer from leukemia and in desperate need of a stem cell donor match. This wonderful event was made possible with generous support from Private Property as one of the key sponsors who understand the important role women can play in making an impact for organisations like the Sunflower Fund. This event means a great deal to Private Property, we are quite intentional in giving back to the women who are our browsers, it's an incredible opportunity to be included and it's an honour to be at this event and being able to give back. We know that 65% of our browsers on Private Property are women, busy, professional women so it's incredibly important to us to make sure that we take one irritation out of their day so ultimately what we are wanting to do is to make sure that the whole process is simplified for them. We have a fantastic support centre, an advice centre that they can tap into, we are reducing the time that they spend on the site by being intentional in terms of what they are looking for, we send out alerts to them which just simplifies the whole process and makes sure that they can make an informed decision going forward to find the right space for them. Not only is the Haiti great fun for the women and their friends, it's also a wonderful opportunity to network and market fledgling businesses started by female entrepreneurs. This is a yearly event and what makes it special is it's a beautiful course and we are here to support it, it is definitely the event of the year. I think we've been doing this as a traditional thing for the last eight years, we're not going to stop, it's something that brings all our business moments together, we love it, it makes our day and it's my birthday! It's always been a fantastic event read by the moms, may we find it very exciting especially to socialize with the women, it gives us a different vibe from the work environment and we just find this a very fun activity as well. It's important for me to attend this event to play my part in supporting the Sunflower Fund and it's also such an extravagant event, we always have so much fun and you meet the most amazing people and it's good to give back and have fun doing it at the same time. I just love being around the beautiful women, the theme is spectacular, it's so bright and cheerful and it's amazing and I just enjoy being here. The theme for this year's event was Fantasia and ladies were encouraged to show off their ocean inspired outfits in a fashion parade with prizes for the most creative attire. Inspiration behind my outfit is while being pregnant I thought I could be the ocean which is full of life and I would have the most precious pearl in the ocean which would be my baby belly. The fantasy theme is really exciting this year, everyone's gone really well out and amazing creations and my husband designed my costume, he's a dance teacher and he designs dance costumes, he also designed Alice Lear's the organizer of the event so yeah the idea is that I'm stepping out of the ocean and so the bottom is sea and I'm stepping out of it. We've always supported the Sunflower Fund, well for many years now we'll continue to support them, it's an amazing fund, we work with Steph very closely and she's an amazing lady so we're just so happy to continue to support the Sunflower Fund and we couldn't have been happier with the turnout, the support from the ladies and our sponsors, we couldn't have asked for more, it's been amazing. I just hope that we smash our fundraising targets or amount that we raised last year so we'll see, fingers crossed. While this high tee is a real treat, these women do make a huge difference for thousands of patients who need hope and support for their future.
