Party / Charity: The Sunday Fix, Mar 11 2012 @ Casablanca Club

The Sunday Fix is a new electro/house music event which will be held on the second Sunday of every month from 3-9pm with all proceeds going to Kenya Children’s Homes/Thomas Barnardo House orphanage, Langata Rd.

The idea is for young music lovers – to bring good quality house music to Nairobi with acclaimed local and international DJs but with all proceeds going to the home. Entry is just 600kes and every penny of each ticket goes directly back to the children of our orphanages. Fundraising isn’t an easy game these days, but feeding, educating and providing a safe and loving home for our children is an absolute necessity. Hence, The Sunday Fix was born to boost much needed funds for the home and to bring top quality house music afternoon in the sun to Nairobi.

Not to be missed – a good Sunday night party is a rare treat!!
