Annual Reports reflect the financial standing of a company, yet ironically end up costing NGOs thousands to produce. So this year Julius Buchinsky Auctioneers used St Annes * Annual Report to generate an income for them.
The largest auctioneer group in the country, Julius Buchinsky, with celebrity auctioneer Barry Hilton and first female auctioneer, Robyn Swiggelaar, auctioned off the framed pages of the report at the St Anne's AGM held in the Bell Roberts Art Gallery.
In just 40 minutes, all 30 pages were sold, giving St Annes an opportunity to renovate their second stage home, buy a TV and refurbish the kitchen
*St Anne's Homes is a century-old shelter providing support and rehabilitation for pregnant, abused and homeless women in Cape Town.
