HOW AND WHY TO GET INVOLVED?
Our 30 deaf finalists are part of a very special selected group! They has been chosen as finalists in their categories in the Miss, Mr & Ms Deaf South Africa 2023 pageant. This is the first step on the journey that may lead them to bigger things and fulfilling their dreams!
Miss, Mr and Ms Deaf South Africa (MDSA) is a not for profit organisation and our mission is targeted at
embarking on initiatives focused on empowering the Deaf Community. This legacy initiative serves
to amplify the VOICE of the Deaf in the form of an annual MDSA Pageant which enables
the finalists to experience a transformational journey through leadership development,
personal development, and skills development programmes.
Participating in this pageant requires a sponsorship fee of R6000 (Six thousand rand) per contestant. Contestants have been encouraged to request donations from family, friends, communities and business leaders to meet this financial obligation and build a bridge between the deaf and hearing.
As a sponsor, you will play an integral part in helping them reach their potential and goals. You are asked to participate financially by providing all or a portion of the fees. An in-kind sponsor is also welcome that we can make use of to raise funds with.
The sponsorship fee will pay for the expenses occurred during the 10 day publicity week including food and lodging.
Your early assistance with the sponsorship will ease our mind to be well prepared and will be greatly appreciated. You can do a direct EFT in the Miss, Mr and Mrs Deaf South Africa bank account (available on request) with Sponsor/MDSA2023 as reference. Section 18A certificates for cash donations is available on request. We will be able to make mention of your company with social media posts or our Facebook page for extra exposure and at our gala evening.
The Public Week will be held in September 2023 where the finalists will be judged based on their personality, interaction, leadership and communication skills. They have been giving the tasks to support charities of their choice, host a function and show their entrepreneurial skills through fundraising which will also be part of their final judging.
The crowning pageant which is one of this kind as a triple crown gala event to crown 3 winners will be during September 2023 in celebration of our National Month for the Deaf People in Cape Town. The new winners will get the opportunity to represent South Africa on an international level where we can proudly confirm that we are a powerhouse on international level. It is a rare and exciting opportunity for any deaf person. It is only possible with your help and for them to get the chance of a lifetime.
Become part of this win-win opportunity, please become part of our community and change the life of a deaf person (and your) life forever.
As our slogan says: “A beautiful heart speaks a language that everyone can see”
Thank you in advance for your support.
