Kenton Beach Party

Last Saturday Loose Change Events organised a summer beach party in Kenton at main beach to raise money for SPCA and Grahamstown Feeding Association (GFA). The ideology was: “Partying for the people and the pets.” Visitors were stimulated to give donations in the form of cans of pet food or cans of beans, lentils, chickpeas and similar food by receiving a discount on their tickets.

There was also a lot of attention for the natural conservation by doing as much as possible to not harm the dunes. While the visitors were asked to clean up after themselves, wherefore there were 40 trash bins around, there were also 10 cleaners around to make sure that there wasn’t any litter left behind on the beach.

But that wasn’t the only thing Loose Change Events took care of. There were like 6 lifeguards watching the party people who went for a swim and 20 security guards who made sure that everything went as it should. Transport was also organised so there was no need to worry about who needed to be the designated driver.

After some little troubles with setting up the music the party really started about 2PM. There were people dancing in a big tent which was set up on the beach, there were people chilling with their friends on the beach and there were people eating pizza and getting drinks at Jeremiah’s. In the evening you could even watch rugby on a big screen. So literally something for everyone.

In total there is an amount of 500 cans raised for the charities. A great success which is also due to the fine tunes and the great atmosphere. Let’s see if Loose Change Events can hit that number with their next event: the Winter Warmer Festival on the 1^st and 2^nd of May.
