The event, held at Berlin Bear, featured live music and surprise performances that brought the community together in a spirit of celebration and excitement.
Organised by Round Table North Ridge 117 in partnership with Berlin Bear, and supported by Jacaranda FM, WarmFees collected an impressive total of 667 blankets, which will be donated to those in need.
'Words cannot describe how grateful we are for the amount of love and support we received at this amazing event,' expresses the chairperson of Round Table 117, Wynand Warren.
Entry to the event was free, and people had to bring blankets, and those who couldn't were allowed to purchase one at the venue.
Popular Jacaranda FM presenter and singer Martin Bester entertained the crowd. There was a surprise performance by Prime Circle and a surprise song by none other than The Parlotones, which made the night a special one to remember for the people.
'We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in our event on Saturday,' says Wynand. He also went on to thank the event organisers and people who made the event a heartwarming and successful one.

Minnie Ntuli makes triumphant return to Gagasi FM: fans celebrate her comeback on ‘The Uprising'
Minnie Ntuli makes a highly anticipated return to Gagasi FM's 'The Uprising,' reuniting with co-host Felix Hlophe after a brief hiatus. Image: Facebook/@Minne Ntuli Gagasi FM's Minnie Ntuli is back on the airwaves. The radio presenter returned to her morning slot on "The Uprising" alongside Felix Hlophe after stepping away from her duties in July. The station announced the news in a social media post on Monday morning, revealing that Ntuli has officially resumed her role. During her time away, her seat on the popular breakfast show was taken over by fellow presenter Nkulee Mbatha. Ntuli's absence followed a dramatic clash that was revealed during 'The Real Housewives of Durban' reunion, which caused a stir both on and off screen. In the heated moment, a never-before-seen clip was played, showing fellow castmate Londie London questioning Ntuli about her upbringing. Ntuli felt the comment was a direct insult to her parents. The confrontation quickly escalated, with Ntuli hurling a cushion across the room and accusing London of 'dishonouring' her parents. The tension boiled over when Ntuli poked London in the forehead while shouting insults, leaving her stunned but composed as she labelled Ntuli a 'bully.' At the time, the station publicly acknowledged her actions, saying she had apologised to the production team and her fellow cast members and reassured listeners that they were committed to supporting a process of healing and reconciliation. 'Our focus is on promoting reconciliation. Both Minnie and the other cast members are professionals in the media industry, and it is likely they will work together again in future,' the statement read. With Ntuli now back behind the mic, Gagasi FM appears ready to move forward. The comment section under the station's Facebook post has been filled with positivity, with fans celebrating her comeback. Many said they missed her voice and the energy she brings to mornings, and that they are excited to hear her back on the air alongside Hlophe. Miss Zyander Deleki wrote, 'I love Nkulee so much, but no one does 'The Uprising' better than this duo. Welcome back, Minnie.' While Khanyisile Ntuli said, 'Perfect combo, oh, we missed you a lot, Minnie, welcome back. I love the energy you bring to the show. 🥰' 'Welcome back💕everyone makes mistakes and we need to forgive,' said Sandy Goldwana.
