Sol Plaatje University (SPU) is calling on the community to join an inspiring initiative aimed at making a lasting impact during its annual Lesedi La Afrika fund-raising gala dinner. Scheduled for the evening of Friday, 16 May 2025, in Kimberley, the event seeks to bolster support for critical areas of scholarship, social impact projects, infrastructure development, and the enhancement of human capital.
Under the thoughtful theme of “Sustaining the Future,” the gala dinner serves as an opportunity for friends, supporters, and corporate partners to unite in fostering a brighter future for generations to come. Every rand raised will go directly toward establishing a robust endowment fund that underpins SPU's mission of empowering students through accessible education and meaningful support.
SPU welcomes interested parties to engage with this fundraising initiative in a multitude of ways—whether through corporate sponsorship or by reserving a table. Corporate sponsors stand to benefit from extensive promotional exposure, placing their brand at the forefront of SPU’s diverse marketing channels including its website, social media platforms, and newsletters.
The options for corporate and table sponsorship include:
In addition to brand exposure, sponsors will have the unique opportunity to connect with influential players in the higher education sector and network with SPU’s engaged community of students, staff, and alumni. These interactions not only foster goodwill but can also lead to potential recruitment avenues for participating companies.
SPU invites all interested parties to reach out for further information regarding sponsorship and branding opportunities. Potential sponsors are encouraged to express their preferred mode of communication and availability for a discussion that could align their goals with the university’s strategic vision.
