Session 1 – Dassenberg Rescue Centre Benefit Auction – Lots 1 – 6

Strauss & Co in collaboration with Everard Read is delighted to present a special benefit session that features six exceptional lots by artists Barbara Wildenboer, Helmut Starke, Nicola Bailey, Dylan Lewis, and Nigel Mullins. The proceeds of each work will be donated to the Dassenberg Rescue Centre. This admirable organisation is committed to caring for neglected and abused dogs and horses in Atlantis, Western Cape. As a non-profit organisation, they rely heavily on public support to provide essential care and rehabilitation for up to 60 dogs and 40 horses, as well as running a community outreach programme that uses animals to help vulnerable youth in therapeutic interventions.

We encourage you to bid generously and join us in supporting the vital work of the Dassenberg Rescue Centre.
