Event launch: “Sunset Jazz” in support of CHICA Namibia

Yochanaan Coetzee
This week, The Cancer Association of Namibia and project partners launched an exciting “one-night-only” jazz show to the benefit of CHICA (Children Fighting Cancer), a support programme within the association.

The Sunset Jazz Show with Namibia’s Lize Ehlers, Glaucio Ngaca & Natasha Ndjiharine will take place on Saturday, 25 September 2021 at 18:00 with Hotel Thule as venue.

Concert with a cause

While childhood cancer is on the rise globally, earlier diagnosis and timely treatment of these cancers allow a greater survival rate. Blood cancers, brain and eye tumours remain the most prevalent forms of childhood cancers in Namibia.

To support Namibian families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis, the CHICA programme under the CAN umbrella body, welcomes paediatric oncology patients in the CHICA Interim Home while receiving treatment in Windhoek.

CAN also supports the Kid’s cancer ward at Windhoek Central Hospital, in addition to helping childhood cancer patients financially, with transport and when the family is in need when the child patient passes on CAN also assists with funeral costs.

“Children deserve only the best. It is imperative that quality childhood cancer care and support remains non-negotiable in Namibia!” said Rolf Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of CAN.

Funds generated by this event will sustain the CHICA programme.

Limited (60 only) tickets are N$250/person and include a welcome drink and snacks.
Tickets are on sale with the Cancer Association of Namibia at 90 John Meinert Street in Windhoek West.

Strict Covid-19 regulations apply.

CAN appreciates the partnership of our sponsors to make this event possible: 99FM; Hotel Thule; CIC and our artists.
