UBUNTU: STARFISH has a LONG LONG TABLE in Melville
Delicious dining along the longest table you’ve ever sat at – for a very good cause. The table is so long it goes all the way down foodie-famous 7th Street …
in Melville, Johannesburg, curls around and comes back up! It features delicious, award-winning courses from the various restaurants and establishments of this creative-flair area. You’ll dine under the spring stars and star lights – with the stars. Yes, this will be a memorably starry, starry night – with the proceeds going to the Starfish Foundation.
What sort of food tastes do you have? Wild and whacky? A seriously adventurous gourmet approach? Classic and cultured? You’re invited. You’re catered for. All the restaurateurs, chefs, cooks and hosts of Melville, together with Visa, invite you to come and be part of this exceptional experience.
Buy your tickets from whichever restaurant you’d like to provide your gourmet meal. Tickets vary in cost from R100 to R180, depending on the restaurant or establishment. And if you pay for the tickets with your Visa card you could win generous cases of Cap Classique or fantastic red or white wines.
It’s a date! On Thursday the 20th October the long-long-long table will be laid up and down the blocked-off- to-traffic street. 29 participating restaurants and establishments will provide a gourmet three-course meal for their section of the table – all themed Orange, inspired by the Starfish colour. The restaurants are all in competition with each other to produce the best meal – to be judged on its utter deliciousness, its originality and adherence to the theme. There will be prizes, presents, entertainment, celebrities and so much more to make this night very memorable. Please dress up as creatively as you like – someone’s outfit will win a prize.
It’s wonderful that we’ll be helping bring life, hope and opportunity to children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in South Africa. The Starfish Foundation’s goal is to secure the future of these children and believes in helping each child, one child at a time.

HAVE YOU GOT INVOLVED IN HIV/AIDS INITIATIVES AND CHARITIES YET? IF NOT, WHY NOT???
What will you tell your children one day when they ask why there are so many of their classmates that are orphans????
Here is your chance to do your bit – host a Starfish dinner and make a difference. This is the first in our new section called UBUNTU – let’s make a difference peeps!
This is your event. Host a dinner at your home, book a restaurant, have a picnic, throw a party.
Invite two people or two hundred. Where and how you dine is up to you. Encourage your guests to make a contribution and the money you raise will help to secure the future of orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the Starfish Greathearts Foundation will be challenging individuals around the globe to host a dinner in their own home to raise funds for Starfish supported children.
We are kicking off the campaign on South Africa’s Freedom Day 27th April 2005, and running it throughout the year.
Last year… 13,000 individuals sat to dinner!
These incredible individuals in 17 different countries participated in the global event raising over R800,000. As a result we were able to support nearly 2,000 children, nutritional, primary care giver and educational support, in the communities of Alexandra (Gauteng), Kwa-Ncgolozi (Kwa-Zulu Natal), Grassroots (Mpumulanga) and the rural area served by the Gcinosapho Outreach (Valley of a 1000 Hills, KZN).
This year… we are going BIG!
Our challenge for South Africa is to raise a total of R1 million (from April through to December 2005) for children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Thank you for beginning this campaign.
We challenge you to take part in this year’s Starfish Dinners of Hope. You will be joining thousands of people throughout the world and making a difference to the lives our children!
