Learners raise money for PinkDrive
The handover was done on August 12 at the school in Glen Marais
TOODLES Playschool came together to raise R1 600 for the PinkDrive initiative.
The school and its learners collected the money in support of Kempton resident Rina Burke’s fund-raising initiatives as part of her role as a 2015 Mrs Commonwealth SA finalist.
PinkDrive is an initiative of Cause Marketing Fundraisers (NPC), a non-profit organisation specialising in the early detection and awareness of breast cancer.
“With the PinkDrive’s three trucks, the mobile mammography and mobile educational units, we do breast health education and mammograms – free of charge to women without medical insurance. We are also active in the private sector where we offer comprehensive corporate wellness days. This ensures sustainability and longevity of the project,” Burke explained.
The handover was done on August 12 at the school in Glen Marais.
“I would like to thank all the parents, children and Laureen Cairns (owner of Toodles Playschool) for supporting this worthy cause as well as supporting my journey as one of the top nine Mrs Commonwealth SA 2015 finalists. Their generosity, kindness and support are greatly appreciated,” Burke expressed.
