The Cool Dads Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 2012 by Bongani Luvalo and a network of friends.<\/p>\n
The foundation was born out of a need for positive role models.<\/p>
\u201cThe organisation was formed after the realisation that many fathers play very little part in the development and upbringing of their children,\u201d said Bongani.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe seek to address such issues in society and make a change.\u201d<\/p>
Like all non-profit organisations, Cool Dads Foundation is dependent on sponsors and donations to continue their work.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the years the donor funding has decreased enormously and it makes it more difficult for us to fulfil our mandate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
To raise some much-needed funds the foundation will be hosting a Valentine\u2019s Day concert at Carnival City on February 14.<\/p>\n
The aptly named Love Potion will kick off at 7pm and will see the musical talents of the effervescent Amanda Black, soulful Sjava and vibrant Mlindo.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to making this night one to remember, for both lovers of music and fund-raising,\u201d said Bongani.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the Love Potion concert are available at Computicket.<\/p>\n
