Cricket fever, festive season cheer and all-year round efforts at living out those “67 minutes” have come together to put a smile on the faces of more than 3000 children from Cape Town’s surrounding communities this summer.
Let’s take it from the top…
To continue commemorating the Olympic year, to celebrate sport and to reach out to South Africa’s children, Groupon South Africa partnered with Sporting Chance to raise funds for the Sporting Chance Calypso Cricket Festival taking place this December. Using their own website as the platform under their Groupon Grassroots banner, Groupon placed a Calypso Cricket advertisement for donation deals to be bought, with all proceeds going towards Sporting Chance Calypso Cricket.
Pulling on South Africans’ heart and purse strings, the campaign helped to raise R13 680 towards the year-ending cricket spectacle. Always looking to make the Calypso experience even better for the children, Sporting Chance endeavours to use these funds towards making their festive season beach cricket outing a memorable one.
Thanks to Groupon South Africa for their shared passion in availing their resources, and thanks to all those who contributed for the support. It starts with each one of us…
