We are happy to announce that the Paddle4Presents event took place in three locations this year. Durban, Cape Town, and for the first time in Johannesburg.
Paddle4Presents is a fundraiser to collect presents and much needed supplies and basic items for the Children Of The Red Cross Hospital. It takes place at the end of each year and is a charity event for all Stand Up Paddle Boarders. The event caters for both professionals and those who have never SUPed before, as well as families and children, with amazing lucky-draws and a variety of food.
This year with all 3 events combined we had over 200 paddlers, and managed to raise over R30 000 for the FOCHA. Not to mention the amount of beautifully wrapped presents was staggering!We collected over R1000 presents and still have more pouring in to our office on a daily basis. A huge thank you to everyone who came down to this event and supported, as well as those who put it all together. An even bigger thank you goes to all the sponsors who donated awesome prizes for raffles and showed up on the night with all their merchandise. Also to the food and drinks vans who supported all the hungry paddlers.
All presents received will be delivered before Christmas to the local childrens hospitals in the hope that we can make a child smile, especially at this time of the year. All money raised will go to the Friends Of The Childrens Hospital Association.
Thank you, thank you, thank you and we hope to see everyone again next year! Except next year we plan to make it even bigger and better so watch this space 🙂
