The Western Cape Commandery of the Grand Bailiwick of South Africa recently raised a substantially larger amount of much needed funding for its designated beneficiaries - an orphanage and a hospital for terminally ill children – than has ever been achieved before.
Working in partnership with the Cape Town Burns Supper Club, members of the Commandery were able to auction and raffle a number of noteworthy items, to more than double the amount raised above that brought in at this event the previous year.
