Who are
the amazing charities that will benefit from your generosity to CIJ 2025?
We
got our Christmas miracle at CIJ2024 and here’s looking forward to 2025’s – oursilver anniversary and final Christmas in July. It has been a
spectacular 24 years of miracle making and this one is going to be extra
fantabulous as it is time for our miracle making to have its final celebration. It
is with a joyous and sad heart that I write to you for the last time on behalf
of CIJ. Our journey has been incredible and thank you for being a part of our
family. We would like to be able to give extra to each of the brilliant
charities this year as it is our last event. This will only be possible by your
gracious generosity.
The
Christmas ball has started to roll as we prepare to celebrate our 25th
and final miracle of Christmas giving, happening twice a year under the banner
of Christmas in July NPO 062-980. A spectacular
occasion was had by all those who attended CIJ2024. An amazing 180 people came
together to raise the incredible amount of R160000.00 for our dedicated
charities. In order to create our final miracle I am reaching out to ask you to
