The Boys

Kevin – First on the starting line! Can you say eager!

And we are off!

This stage has very kindly been sponsored by:

Novare Investments

Our goal was to raise R50 000 to help out Abraham Kriel but when the ball is coming off the bat so sweetly you might as well keep trying to hit 6′s! We are ridiculously excited to let you know that we have now officially got to our century (scored at record pace)! The talk is that it is a flat pitch and that we might be in for a while. Keep an eye out for more incoming runs…I mean funds.

Funds Raised

We have a few channels through which funds are directed towards Abraham Kriel. The easiest way to make a secure donation is to go via the Given Gain project we have loaded. You can access this directly by clicking on the donation link below. If, like some of these other glorious and generous people, you would like to donate directly to Abraham Kriel please do! We don’t care how the money gets to AK, as long as it does and the kids get the support they need.

We have now raised a total of R61 650 across these various channels! Woohooooo!

We have filled all of our stage sponsorship’s! We would like to send out a massive thank you to these four very generous companies that have donated R10,000 each to help out the kids at Abraham Kriel Children’s Home! It has been very humbling to see how quickly these companies jumped at the opportunity to get involved. We would never have imagined being at the R40,000 mark for our The Put Foot Rally initiative this early on in the game.

Believe it because its true! When we set out to sell the 4 stages of our Rally to corporate sponsors, never could we have foreseen such a positive response and uptake. We are more than ecstatic to announce that Kontominas Financial Planning Consultancy (Pty) LTD (KFP) have taken up our last available stage sponsorship opportunity. They were also instrumental in rallying (excuse the pun) interest within the financial services industry for what we are doing and without them we would never have hit our fund raising target this early on in the game!
