Revealing that a percentage of all ticket sales generated at NickFest will go towards “Surgeons for Little Lives”, Chris Torline, Senior Marketing & Digital Director, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa commented, “It’s very heart-warming to see so many well-known faces prepared to join us at NickFest to do something very, very silly in the interests of improving the lives of young children in the Greater Gauteng area!”
