The Zimpapers group, a leading media conglomerate, has played a vital role in helping Shungu Dzevana Children’s Home gain significant publicity for their upcoming fundraising dinner. The event, aimed at raising funds for the home’s daily operations and maintenance, received extensive coverage across Zimpapers’ various media platforms.
The publicity effort paid off when Mike Harris Toyota, a renowned automotive dealer, stepped forward to donate a Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD6 4×4 Single Cab to be auctioned off, with all proceeds going towards supporting the children’s home. The generous donation is expected to significantly boost the funds raised during the auction.
Shungu Dzevana Children’s Home, a non-profit organisation, provides a safe haven and care for vulnerable children in the community. The home relies on donations and fundraising efforts to continue its vital work.
The Zimpapers group’s support has been instrumental in amplifying the home’s cause, reaching a wider audience and attracting the attention of benevolent organisations like Mike Harris Toyota. The donation and auction are expected to make a significant impact on the home’s ability to provide for the children’s needs.
Shungu Dzevana Trust’s chairman Dr Oliver Chibage said: “Mike Harris Toyota’s donation of a car for auction to support Shungu Dzevana Trust is a remarkable act of kindness. This generous gesture will help raise vital funds for the children’s welfare, making a tangible difference in their lives.
“It’s a shining example of corporate compassion and community commitment. Mike Harris Toyota’s philanthropic spirit is truly inspiring, and their contribution will have a lasting impact on the children and families served by Shungu Dzevana.”
Mike Harris Toyota sales executive Tonderai Marime, said: “We are thrilled to support the incredible work of Shungu Dzevana Children’s Home through our donation of a vehicle for auction.
At Mike Harris Toyota, we believe in giving back to our community and making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. We hope this gesture will help raise essential funds for the children’s care and well-being, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with this wonderful organisation.”
The fundraising dinner and auction are scheduled to take place on 26 July at Crowne Plaza Hotel. The event promises to be an exciting evening of entertainment, food, and philanthropy, with all proceeds going towards supporting the worthy cause.
The Zimpapers group, Mike Harris Toyota, and Shungu Dzevana Children’s Home extend their gratitude to the public for continued support and encourage everyone to attend the fundraising dinner and auction to make a difference in the lives of these deserving children.
