EMOTIONAL SCENES AT PILGRIMAGE PARTY
The event – named after Mark Pilgrim’s Pilgrimage albums from the early 00’s – raised R102 000 through ticket sales for the Reach For A Dream foundation.
Mark was an ambassador for the NGO, which makes “wishes come true” for children living with life-threatening illnesses.
And judging by the pics, the party – which played Mark’s favourite tracks from the 80s and 90s – was a roaring success.

The event boasted a memory wall where fans could share special messages about the late TV and radio presenter. But the night’s highlight was a lifesize portrait of Mark Pilgrim, made out of hundreds of mini Rubik’s Cubes. The installation – created by artist “The Naked Cuber” – was commissioned out of Mark’s shee love of solving the 3-D puzzle.
