Celebrating Mark Pilgrim’s Life and Love for Music: A Charity Concert in His Honor

Fans and friends of the late radio and TV presenter Mark Pilgrim will gather this weekend to celebrate his life and love for music in an exclusive charity concert. The event, called the “Pilgrimage Party,” will take place on Saturday, 10 June, in Kyalami, Johannesburg. It is a tribute to the Hot 102.7 star, who passed away on 5 March at the age of 53 after battling stage four lung cancer.

Honoring the Memory of Mark Pilgrim

The Pilgrimage Party is inspired by Mark Pilgrim’s Pilgrimage albums, which he released in the early 2000s. It is not only a tribute to the late broadcaster but also a fundraiser for his favorite charity, Reach For A Dream, which he served as an ambassador. This non-governmental organization grants wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses, bringing joy and hope to their lives.
