26th Toy Run on the 26th

By

The Toy Run® PE will celebrate its 26th year of supporting marginalised and vulnerable children on 26 November 2017.

After a stringent nomination and selection process, the following organisations have been selected to receive funds from this community benefit fund raising event: Alabaster Community Impact Centre (Veeplaas); Khayalethu Youth Centre (Theescombe); Vistarus Play School (Sidwell); Provincial Hospital Paediatric Oncology Unit (Mount Croix); Joubertina Primary School and Morewag Primary School (Holland Park).

All beneficiaries are deemed as partners to this fund raising effort, and are encouraged to assist the Toy Run committee to boost its efforts, thus also helping one another in a broader sense.

Sponsor an underprivileged child @ R150.00: The childrens’ party for underprivileged youth, organised by the PE Toy Run® committee, has received a bumper offer from the owner of The Barn, a children’s play and party venue in Greenbushes. Niki will be celebrating The Barn’s first birthday on the weekend of the annual Toy Run® and part of the celebration activities is to give back to the community by hosting close to 350 children on the Saturday morning.

The Toy Run® children’s party event is closed to the public, and participating children attend by invitation by the Toy Run® organisers. The children’s event is supported by many corporates, namely KFC, The Acres Spar and Cassies fast food, are but a few of many others that help to bring joy to these youngsters. Organisations who wish to contribute are welcome to contact the organising committee.

Sponsorship of R150.00 per child is used to purchase a gift from Santa.
