Cape Region Awards R30 000 to Two Deserving Local Organisations

With each Chas Everitt office having chosen a local organisation to support, it was decided by the Chas Everitt Cape Region to ask the various organisations to submit a brief application for a grant of R30 000 from the Cape Region of Chas Everitt.

The response to the R30 000 grant application was very positive according to Andre de Villiers, Chas Everitt's National Marketing Manager. "There is so much need amongst welfare organisations at this time, as money has clearly been tight during the tough economic times we have all endured, it is clear that organisations have been really battling to make ends meet as donations have declined during this period.

Chas Everitt Western Cape is pleased that our contribution will go some way for two organisations that were selected to share the R30 000. The R30 000 Regional grants (one per Region) is only one aspect of the Chas Cares programme in the Region where local Chas Everitt offices have all chosen a local welfare organisation in their respective areas to support.

The successful applicants each receiving R15 000 are SARDA (South African Riding for the Disabled Association) and Horison House Centre (for the care of intellectually disabled adult people).
The two R15 000 cheques will be presented to representatives of the organisations at Chas Everitt's 30th Anniversary celebrations that will be held in July.

Chas Cares Eastern Cape

Well done to Chas Everitt PE for an exceptional successful fund raising evening last night (16 June 2010).

Thanks to the Chas-team for you hard work, time and effort put into making it the success it was and thanks to all those who attended and supported our event and a very big thank you to Mike & Sharon, without you it would never have been such a success. We raised a wonderful amount of money for the Sydenham Retirement Village.

This project started small but is growing daily! We have got great people coming on board with us who will allow us to make a serious difference in these people's lives.

We did a Music Trivia evening last night (venue sponsored and music trivia facilitators did not charge us) and we had close on 200 people attending. Obviously we all had ‘stax’ of fun, but also hit home to these 200 people about the condition of the elderly living in the Sydenham Retirement Village and we're very fortunate to have raised R10,286 last night.
