March 17

Each year, two hundred women are invited to join Liezl Els in celebrating different cultures around the world at Liezl’s Annual Tea Party. At the event, guests will indulge in delicious regional-themed foods and experience the unique features of each county through decor and entertainment. This exclusive luncheon event has grown incrementally each year – raising over $250,000 in a single afternoon. The Tea Party will raise funds through sponsorships, table sales, the purchase of prize drawing tickets, and an elite silent auction. 

On Monday, March 17, 2025, Liezl Els will host her 14th Annual Tea Party fundraiser. Throughout the years, Liezl’s Tea Party has become a cherished tradition, offering a cultural journey through various themes like Greece, India, Morocco, South Africa, Australia, and more. We are thrilled to unveil the theme for 2025: Ireland! We hope you will join us for a can’t-miss celebration!
