When they heard their favourite band One Direction were coming to South Africa they contacted Reach For A Dream who approached Big Concerts to see if we could arrange a meet & greet with Harry, Liam, Niall and Louis. At the time Meaker was fighting Osteoogenic Sarcoma and Padayachee was diagnosed with Congenital Myopathy and was suffering from respiratory failure. The band approved the request without hesitation and gave them an experience they would never forget including a goodie bag filled with official One Direction merchandise.
It was through this experience that Big Concerts realised that they could make a big difference.
We Care
Through ‘We Care’, Big Concerts will, in 2016, proudly support The Sunflower Fund and Reach For A Dream Foundation where they hope to make a big difference to the lives of other people through live entertainment.
Alana James, CEO of the Sunflower Fund commented, “The awareness and funds raised through this collaboration will greatly assist us to deliver on our mission – to increase the South African Bone Marrow Registry with committed donors, giving Hope of life to those in need of a stem cell transplant.”
Over the coming months, Big Concerts will be launching various initiatives to do exactly that. The first initiative to launch is the option to donate R10 to these organisations when people can purchase a ticket to a Big Concerts event through
www.bigconcerts.co.za. A small gesture like this is often something big for someone else, and Big Concerts sincerely hopes the public will support them as they try to make a difference.
