City Rock friends play soccer to raise money for Christmas gifts
City Rock Friends’ Club raised R2100 on their own and R1800 was raised at the soccer event.
A GROUP of Kempton Park friends belonging to City Rock Friends Club played soccer to raise funds for Christmas on June 24.
The friends are regular fundraisers and this time they decided to raise funds to buy Christmas packs for the less privileged.
City Rock Friends Club beat their opponent, Ezioyi Friends Club, 6-1 in a friendly match played at the family fitness football pitch in Kempton Park.The friendly match saw city rock netting two goals in the first half and four goals in the second half. City rock impressed the crowd because it played 10 men against Ezioyi’s 11 men.
Chibuzo Nwachukwu, coach and chairman of City Rock Friends Club, was proud that city rock members raised R2 100 on their own and another R1 800 was raised at the soccer event.
“These and more funds that will be raised at subsequent friendlies would go a long way to putting smiles on the faces of a lot of less privileged people in Kempton Park this year,” said Nwachukwu.
The club has made constitutional responsibilities to donate groceries, to pray with the residents of charity homes and made generous donations to Casa Caritas last December.
The club was formed in 2012 and registered in 2013 with the aim of assisting members to live responsibly and to aspire to reach greater heights in the business and academic world through fair dealings.
“City Rock Friends Club, situated on Long Street, calls on all clubs in Kempton Park to make it a constitutional responsibility to donate to at least one less privileged home every year,” Nwachukwu said.
