Tickets are already on sale and excitement has been growing following the release of the official trailer.

Annual adopt-a-doll auction live at East Rand Children's Haven
The East Rand Children's Haven's annual adopt-a-doll fundraising auction launched on July 18 in honour of Mandela Day. The campaign raises essential funds to support the home's daily operations and care for the 20 children who live there. Funding from the Department of Social Development falls far short of covering the home's needs. While smaller fundraisers are held throughout the year, the annual doll auction is one of the most significant contributors to keeping the home running. This year's campaign features 20 dolls, each representing a child in the home's care. One doll is auctioned off every few days on the home's Facebook page (East Rand Children's Haven) between Mandela Day and Women's Day on August 9. Each winning bidder receives a certificate of 'adoption' as a token of appreciation. Supporters are encouraged to display the certificate proudly in their home or workplace. In a special call to action, the home is encouraging businesses, schools and families to pool their resources and place a group bid on one of the dolls. Proceeds go directly toward the care of the children and household needs.
