Cape Town’s shiny new venue,
Shimmy Beach Club, has been chosen as one of the 360 hottest spots in over 120
cities that will host The Global Party 2013 (TGP) at the end of June. Conceived as a charity fundraiser, TGP
will host 360,000 of the world’s VIP’s, celebrities, jetsetters and
high-rollers at glamorous events that link luxury with philanthropy. The announcement was made at a
press conference in London on Wednesday night.
Shimmy Beach Club will be
hosting Cape Town’s official invitation-only Global Party on Saturday 29 June
2013. All TGP events will
raise funds for children’s charities and Shimmy has nominated AIDS NGO Wola
Nani with its Orphans and Vulnerable Children Programme (OVC) as the benefiting
local charity.
‘We relish the opportunity to
throw the most unforgettable party Cape Town has ever seen” says Shimmy Beach
Club director, Shawn Mace.
“Since opening our doors at the end of last year, we have enjoyed the patronage
of many of South Africa’s most fortunate people. We believe that
by hosting TGP, we can make a difference in many young and less fortunate
lives. We challenge everyone to
open their hearts and their wallets as part of this worldwide initiative‘.
Shimmy joins an elite list of
the world’s chicest nightspots including Nikki Beach in Marrakech, Paris’s Ozu
Club and The Savoy, London.
Observatory-based NGO Wola
Nani, Xhosa for “we embrace and develop one another”, was established in 1994
as a non-profit organization to support women, orphans and vulnerable children
infected by the HIV crisis.
“Since the inception of the
organization, Wola Nani has always recognized that children are the most
vulnerable in the HIV/AIDS epidemic” says Executive Director Moira Jones. “It is only through the support
of donors, that Wola Nani can enhance its OVC programmes and embark on moving
these young people from vulnerability to resilience".
