More than 900 people from the Sarasota community attended Safari Sarasota 2019 events from October 24 - 26 in support of the All Heart Fund, a US-based fundraising arm of the Good Work Foundation (GWF). The Good Work Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides education and digital learning to thousands of children in rural South Africa. Safari Sarasota 2019 raised over $225,000 in three days through five diverse and educational events. The Safari Sarasota events brought celebrity presenters from South Africa and the Sarasota community together to share authentic South African cuisine, award-winning wine pairings, and to support innovative education programs for children and young adults in remote villages in South Africa. Members of the public were invited to attend the five individual Safari Sarasota events to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of South Africa.
