The chosen charity for this year’s Nissan Winter Classic is Umthombomuhle School in Hammarsdale. Last year, funds raised by Foresyte Shows and Langley Equestrian Centre contributed to the establishment of an interactive play area on site.
Funds raised this year will go towards upgrading various facilities at the local school. The 112 learners will also be treated to a day at the Nissan Winter Classic with lunches sponsored by Illovo.
Visitors attending this family-friendly event will be able to take advantage of a number of additional activities, including the dedicated kids’ zone play area and a variety of market stalls.
