Journey to Worlds 2013 : Fundraising

The SA Junior Surf Team, has not received any funding towards our travel to go represent South Africa, at the 2013 ISA World Junior Champs, and so each of us team members has to raise R 30 000 each in order to fund our travel to compete in Nicaragua, Central America.

I'm lucky to have such supportive sponsors who have assisted me, with cash from my main sponsor Lizzy ,which really got the ball rolling as well as my other sponsors (Von Zipper, Nixon and Hurricane) providing me with product for all sorts of fundraising like raffles,auctions and prizes.

Today Nicole Pallet (fellow SA member) and I went to the traffic lights in my home town and did a donation collection, we had banners kindly made by Viv Annells of  Mike Signs, that were a huge help. Everyone was generous emptying out their wallets and curiously asking all sorts of questions.

We managed to raise R 3015.00 and had a great time running up and down, collecting and interacting with the public.

Banners sponsored my the Annell's Family @ Mike Signs
Nicole and I with a bucket of money, such a rad community!
Any body that is interested in assisting with our fundraising can contact us on (+27)83 647 6066 or send an email to chanelle.botha@yahoo.com :)
