Sanlam goes pink for October
Fighting for hope
Sanlam Namibia handed over N$50 000 to the Cancer Association of Namibia(CAN) in support of the annual Hats and Roses Ladies Gala Breakfast taking place in the capital in October.Denille Roostee, marketing and communications manager of Sanlam Namibia, handed over the donation to CAN’s chief executive Officer, Rolf Hansen, thanking the association for the work they do to help fight cancer in Namibia:
“It is your passion that inspires us to take hands with CAN and we again reconfirm our support towards this very important cause,” she said.
The annual Hats and Roses event is hosted on Saturday, 1 October 2022, at the Windhoek Country Club and serves as a fundraiser to sustain CAN’s women’s health community clinics.
Cancer amongst Namibian women remains critical, with more than 54% of all cancers diagnosed in Namibia being amongst women, with breast and cervical cancers taking the lead.
Various project partners take hands to present this much-loved morning of hope every year. During the Covid-19 pandemic the production was placed on hold due to event restrictions.
“We again look forward to welcoming 500 ladies as in the past to share in this amazing morning of hope, and to raise funds that will enable CAN to assist financially vulnerable women fighting cancer,” Hansen said.
Tickets cost N$550 per person or N$5 500 for a table of ten and include a “pink luncheon” with drinks and gifts to spoil the ladies.
