Charity Highlight
The Color Run South Africa raised over R500,000 in 2017 for local causes and educational based initiatives in the areas we visit. We’re looking to increase that in 2018!
We’ve been about doing good and having fun ever since we started! As a for-profit event management company, we love the opportunity we have to partner with charities to help shine a light on their amazing work within society and highlight the causes they stand for. Last year we raised over R500,000 with Capitec Bank to help grow education initiatives in the areas we visited.
This year we’re calling on all runners to help raise funds for some amazing charities who work tirelessly in our communities each and every day. To set up a campaign on BackaBuddy just:
– Select your benefiting charity
– Receive your campaign link
– Share with your friends and family and ask them to support you!
Its super easy to make a positive impact!
