R500,000 raised to bring festive joy to children across Mzansi
This year SPAR Carols by Candlelight partnered with the Santa Shoebox Project and raised R500,000 to bring festive joy to children in need.
The 21st Edition of SPAR Carols by Candlelight at the SunBet Arena Time Square was indeed a magical event - not just for the jaw-dropping show, but also for the opportunity to bring festive joy to children in need.
