Despite the heat of the day, guests and A-listers turned up dressed to impress at one of Cape Town's only black tie events.

The evening began with a heart-warming welcome from Hollywood Actress Kristanna Loken and Good Hope FM DJ Guy McDonald, followed by an incredible auction conducted by Richard Gore. The music line-up included the sensational Jeremy Loops, IScreamStix and the Wedding DJs.

All proceeds raised from fundraising and profits from the evening will be donated to the five participating social enterprises. The five selected in the inaugural 2012 campaign are: Let There be Light, Greenpop, MyLife, African Brothers Football Academy and Write on Africa.
