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.
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.
Mark Pilgrim’s passion for music will be embodied at the Pilgrimage Party. The invitation-only event will feature his favorite tracks from the 80s and 90s, and his closest friends from Hot 102.7 FM, including station manager Lloyd Madurai and other fellow DJs, will provide the soundtrack for the evening.
Mark Pilgrim’s fiancée, Adrienne Watkins, has been candidly expressing her grief on social media. Despite the heartbreaking loss, she, along with friends, family, and fans, have chosen to keep Mark’s memory alive through this charity concert. The Pilgrimage Party is a fitting tribute to a man who touched the lives of many through his unique charm, wit, and passion for life.
As the Pilgrimage Party unites friends, family, and fans in Mark’s memory, his legacy of joy and love will live on. Through the music, laughter, and meaningful support provided to Reach For A Dream, Mark’s impact on those who loved him and the children whose dreams he helped fulfill will continue to resonate for years to come.
