Events | Sun Raise

Our Story

We are a movement spearheaded by Cape Town based community builders and event agency, North North Social Club as well as current University of Cape Town Honors student and member of band Operation Khataza, Lois Flandorp.

CONNECT

A space where artists and businesses unite to raise awareness and funds for social ills.
Our current action is for university students currently displaced, unable to graduate and awaiting funding through activations and events.

Every day, with every sun rise we are offered the gift of hope. Understanding and accepting that we don’t have much control over what has passed nor over what is to come.

Low Altitude Sun Raise: Where Creativity Meets Crisis

"I think about back in the day when they used to have benefit concerts. The Live Aid benefit concert is still one of the biggest concerts to ever happen post-apartheid because there were creatives."

GOAL
REACHED

Having had no funding during her final year, Gugulethu finds herself unable to graduate this year. Dell Young Leaders paid R100 000, which covered most of her historical debt. At the time of applying she still needed to pay R29 384 before the 30th of June 2025, in order to graduate in September this year. Gugulethu has since then acquired a loan and paid R20 200 towards her fees. Her outstanding balance is now R9 443. We are currently running a donation drive for her on our social media.

Gugu's fees are now paid off. A portion of the fund was donated through Sun Raise.

Activations

Sun Raise is dedicated to creating impactful events that raise awareness and funds for social causes, particularly aiding university students in need. These activations not only generate financial support but also cultivate a sense of community around important social issues.
