Grande Provence hosts Grand MET fundraiser in Franschhoek

SHOWCASE your sequins, silks and satins at the Annual Grand MET Fundraiser in support of the Franschhoek Hospitality Academy on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate.

The evening promises to be an unforgettable sensory experience with bottomless bubbly on arrival, a lavish six-course dinner, culinary theatrics, fire performers, stilt walkers, silk dancers and entertainment by the dynamic musical duo, Acoustic Element.

The Franschhoek Hospitality Academy was established as a social responsibility initiative that works within the Hospitality Industry. The Academy provides hospitality training and leadership skills development to young people living in communities in and around Franschhoek.

It has made a real difference to the lives of Franschhoek youths giving them the opportunity to pave their own paths. For 22-year-old Mayizukiswe Rongwana, enrolling in the academy was a life changing experience. Like many of the youngsters around him, staying in school was a struggle and he found himself mixing with the wrong crowds, dropping out of education and falling into trouble.

“The academy is giving us a second chance and opportunity. My biggest dream is to own my own restaurant one day. I am chasing my dreams for a better life, one step at a time, and I’m proud of what I have done so far. Thank you to the Franschhoek Hospitality Academy for believing in me and helping me believe in myself,” says Mayizukiswe.

All proceeds will go towards uplifting local historically disadvantaged youths by providing them with the necessary hospitality skills and training to gain employment within the thriving tourism industry.

Be sure to bid generously at the charity auction, on lots including a seven-course food and wine experience for six guests at Michelin chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen’s new Jan Innovation Studio in Cape Town; three nights all-inclusive at Villa Mushara in Namibia; a getaway at Ulusaba – Sir Richard Branson’s private game reserve in Sabi Sand Reserve; and a two nights at Franschhoek’s luxury Mont Rochelle hotel.

The Grand MET Fundraiser takes place from 6.30pm till 11.30pm. Tickets are R1900 per person, available from Quicket, or contact tarryn@fhalc.co.za for more information.
