The Hermanus Cancer Fund was established over 20 years ago when a small group of friends began to raise money to provide additional support for those who were terminally ill in Hermanus, and they have extended their assistance to cover Gansbaai and Kleinmond as well. The Fund has organised events such as bridge drives and Christmas markets in order to raise money. The funds generated go towards many support structures for the patients and their families such as monthly contributions to the Overstrand Hospice, food parcels, medical equipment and carers.
The Lloys Ellis family together with Bouchard Finlayson have generously sponsored these concerts for the past 17 years.
