Join the walkathon on Mandela Day
They are rearing to go and working hard behind the scenes to launch the Be an Active Ambassador for Avril on this day. Their aim with this drive is to focus on those playing and/or participating in any sport, to wear their range of sports gear and get 'active' for the cause, whether it be cycling the Argus or 94.7, running the Comrades, sky-diving, climbing Mount Everest, wrestling your in-laws, or entering any event that will draw attention to our white gear, advocating for the home. On July 18, they will be having their first Wheelchair Walk-Athon and they are inviting you and your company, colleagues, friends, family and acquaintances to enter this challenge by sponsoring a couple of entrant(s) employees to walk the 1.2km perimeter of the home at R100 per lap. Walkers will be required to push a colleague or friend in a wheelchair, trying to do as many laps as possible in 67 minutes, with a minimum of two laps required. Your lap card will be stamped after each lap, and their admin team will verify that against your sponsorship form. Registration is at 08:30, and the actual walkathon starts at 09:00. What better way to create special awareness for our home than by doing your 67 minutes on Madiba Day and having fun, fun, fun! The Bedfordview and Primrose CPF will be joining and keep walkers safe. There will also be stands alongside the home's wall in Castor Road and Orient Street, should you wish to purchase a sidewalk stand at R150, promoting your business and cheering on the walkers. You can offer them water or an orange quarter to show your support. There are 24 sidewalk stands available. Please note that the Book and Charity shops will be open for companies and their participating teams on that day. They will also have some of their sports gear for sale. There will be a hot and cold drink station and ice cream for sale. More exciting news is that the winner of their lamb raffle will be drawn and announced at 14:30 on the day. Come prepared. Come hungry. Come ready to have the best day ever while supporting our cause.
