- Vehicle to be used as grand prize in annual fundraising raffle
KIA Motors South Africa has reaffirmed its commitment to helping vulnerable South Africans by donating a KIA Picanto 1.0 START to the Beeld Children’s Fund.
This is the third consecutive year that KIA Motors will be donating a vehicle, which the Fund will, once again, use as the grand prize in their annual fundraising raffle.
The raffle is also supported by Afrikaans radio station, Radiosondergrense (RSG 100-104fm).
Commenting on the donation, the CEO, KIA Motors South Africa, Gary Scott, said: “As a proudly South African company, it is a privilege for us to once again support the Beeld Children’s Fund’s annual fundraising drive.”
According to Scott, “The youth represent the future of our beautiful country, and we are proud to help provide opportunities to thrive and prosper. We rely on organisations such as the Beeld Children’s Fund to be our hands.”
The Beeld Children’s Fund was founded in 1977, and strives to assist children in need by focusing on programmes that aid the development of body, soul and spirit. It is a registered Non-Profit Organisation and Public Benefit Organisation.
Last year, the Fund’s annual fundraising raffle raised a total of R729,245 with the annual raffle, which allowed them to support five development programmes.
“These programmes serve the needs of a wide variety of vulnerable children,” Adrie van Staden, Executive Director of the Beeld Children’s Fund, explained .“It allows us to assist traumatised children in obtaining therapy, and for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to attend kindergartens and pre-schools.
“It also allows us to help homeless youth to obtain care and accommodation at homes such as Echo Youthcare and to complete their schooling.”
Apart from the grand prize of a KIA Picanto START, there are also a number of other bonus prizes on offer. Winning is easy: for every donation of R30, donors receive one entry into the raffle. Should a donation of R100 be made every month via EFT, credit card or Snapscan, donors receive four entries and is automatically in the running for a monthly bonus prize.
