Bridges for Music Gala with Ultra South Africa
We experienced one of the most special evenings on our journey so far, our first gala dinner with Ultra South Africa to support the construction of the Music & Entrepreneurship school in Langa, Cape Town. It was an evening full of magical moments in the form of music, art and inspirational talks from members of the Langa community.
 
Thanks to all the bidders for their generosity and especially to the biggest bidder of the night DJ SNAKE who went all in to support the cause. Also big thanks to Skrillex for bidding via Facetime. We extend our thanks to Mum-z, Katlego Maboe, Alice Phoebe Lou, Thabo MObo, Natasha, Jessica Jay Lange, Amie Elliot and everyone who donated at the auction: Lionel Smit, Daya Heller, IAM (filming non profit in Langa), Cape Town Club, Kristian Schmidt, Olwethu, ZOJA, International Music Summit and Thunder City for their contributions.

Finally our partners: Ultra South Africa, Heineken, Belvedere Vodka, Moët & Chandon Italia, SAE Institute Cape Town, Pioneer DJ, Red Bull Studio and Nederburg Wines , all of which helped us pull off this event.
