Social Responsibility

Dear Clients, Homeowners and Friends

In February 2011 we got it into our heads to sign up for an extremely challenging iron-distance race, in order to raise money for a cause close to our hearts.  Sadly, Challenge Cape Town (which was set to take place in November 2011) was canceled and we needed to come up with a new plan to carry out our side of the deal – we already had a number of very generous friends and clients pledge donations!  We were aiming to raise enough money to send four children to school in 2012 through a program called ‘Love to be Me’.  In total we raised a very impressive R18,928 which we could not have achieved without the support of amazing clients and friends.

So what events have you taken part in exactly?

Instead of the one-day race around the peninsula (a total of 227km over roughly 12 hours) we spread our activities between December 2011 and April 2012.  We took part in the following races:

And what happens to Sponsors’ Donations?

Sponsored by:

So far, thanks to our generous sponsors, we have paid the full amount over to Simunye, located in Gugulethu.  This school forms a small part of a much larger vision held by Nadia Lubowski and the A.L. Educational Trust.  Any contribution is appreciated and it’s never too late to donate a little something.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment below and I will respond directly and send through any further information you require.

Thanks and best wishes,

Dale, Julia, Renee and the Amazing Spaces Team
