The
Corporate Charity Challenge (CCC), as it has been coined will be held over a
five day period on Thursday nights from 3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th April at the
Moses Mabhida Stadium People’s Park fields.
The
final will be played on 28 April 2014 as a curtain raiser for the KZN Derby
between AmaZulu and Golden Arrows which is to be played at the iconic Moses
Mabhida Stadium at 17h00.
Standard
Bank and ENS have been roped in as secondary sponsors while East Coast Radio
and Independent Newspapers will function as media partners during the football
challenge.
AmaZulu
Community Trust Chairman, Lunga Sokhela said the aim behind the challenge is to
raise money to run programs that will help the community.
“The
idea is to allow other corporates to get involved in social responsibility
work, to raise funds on a larger scale
for the benefit of communities that are in need. With that in mind the
Corporate Charity Challenge was designed, to allow the involvement of big
business around Durban as well as South Africa to be involved.”
“The
proceeds of this challenge will be used in the operational cost of running all
these programs that take place in arrears such as Ezakheni (Ladysmith), Eastern
Cape, Durban and possibly in the near future in Gauteng as well.”
“The
AmaZulu Community Trust uses football extensively as a tool to gain huge
audiences within this market as they respond very well. All in all it’s also
another way the trust is using football to get companies involved,” said
Sokhela.
The
16 team challenge will also present an opportunity for the companies to network
and socialize with their families on the night while also encouraging
exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Entrance to the matches will be free.
ECR
will give provide a platform for radio interviews throughout the period of the
challenge in terms of getting the community of Durban to come out to watch and
support the matches. ENS have sponsored the kit which will be worn by all 16
teams during the challenge. Standard Bank has sponsored a part of the financial
cost of the challenge itself. Independent Newspapers through their
publications, Isolezwe and the Daily News will be our print partners.
