It’s A Rush for a Good Cause!

What happens when a score of South Africa’s most loved celebrities lend
their names to a good cause? A golden RUSH of racing excitement, coupled
with more than just a DASH of smiling faces added to the mix. That’s
exactly what the Gauteng SANSUI Summer Cup’s official charity drive, “
Racing. It’s a Rush Celebrity Charity Dash” hopes to achieve come 28
November 2015; as Mzansi’s hottest celebs do their bit to help bring
smiles to thousands of disadvantaged children this festive season.

Now in its fifth year, Racing. It’s a Rush Celebrity Charity Dash, will see
20 celebrities taking to the track to raise money for SOS Children’s
Villages South Africa. One of Gauteng SANSUI Summer Cup's favourite
fixtures, this friendly philanthropic competition will donate R844 151.25,
which is more than double the amount collected in 2014. Taking
Johannesburg's premier equestrian and fashion affair to thrilling new
heights, the winning celebrity will not only take the credit of being the
fastest on the track, but the honour of handing over the cheque to SOS
Children’s Villages South Africa.

Celebrities such as Jen Su, Stacey Holland, Clive Maistry, Jay Astey and
Jonathan Boyton-Lee join the likes of hip hop artist Solo, rugby athletes
Robbie Coetzee and Courtnall Skosan among others, ensuring a bigger,
bolder, tougher and of course More Jozi dash than ever before.

“This is my first Celebrity Charity Dash campaign and I’m so honoured to be
taking part,” former Miss South Africa Joan Madibeng said, adding: “SOS
Children's Villages is an incredibly inspiring initiative that make a huge
difference in the lives of disenfranchised children looking for a place
called home. Like any other celebrity taking part in this race who has been
directly or indirectly affected by this dilemma, getting involved and
lending a hand in such an important initiative was no brainer.”

Commenting on their involvement in this year's celebrity dash challenge,
Clyde Basel, Phumelela Sales and Marketing Executive said: “We are pleased
to enter into our seventh year of hosting an event of this stature in
Johannesburg, which reflects the generous spirit of the Gauteng SANSUI
Summer Cup and indeed all its partners and most importantly the joy of
giving. As an organisation, community building and development is of high
importance to us as we believe it's our responsibility to give our talents,
time and treasure to serve others.”

As for recognising the vital work that SOS Children's Villages do, Basel
urges Gauteng horse racing enthusiasts to “put on their racing hats and
make your way to Turffontein Racecourse...it’s time to help make a
difference and recognise all the good work that SOS Children's Villages has
been doing”.



Seithuto Seakgwa, Marketing and Communications of SOS Children’s Villages
South Africa, concludes: “On behalf of SOS Children’s Villages and the
little ones we serve, a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of R
844 151.25. We want to thank you most sincerely for your thoughtful
support.
