Hypermarket celebrate by establishing foundation
The Cansa Fochville facility received R1 million during the gala dinner.
During the gala evening of President Hyper’s fifth golf day, it was announced that the owners of the hypermarket had decided to establish a charity foundation – President Hyper (PH) Foundation.
The event was also in celebration of the Fochville store’s 50th birthday.
At these events funds usually are handed over to numerous charities within the Krugersdorp and Fochville area, but this year was different. Only one charity benefited from the golf day.
The Cancer Association of South Africa’s (Cansa) Fochville facility received R1 million and the cheque was handed over officially to two speechless Cansa representatives.
The Cansa Fochville facility is housed within the PH centre, but the owners decided to rebuild the entire PH centre next year, meaning that the Cansa facility also will be rebuilt.
PH owner Basil Synodinos also announced that they are donating the piece of land to Cansa, which is worth about R300 000.
After the formalities of the evening were concluded, well-known SA comedian Joey Rasdien (who also took part in the golf day) exchanged his golf club for the microphone and kept everyone in stitches with his sharp wit.
Morné Swanepoel, a Kimberley-Clark employee who played golf earlier in the day walked away with a spot prize; an iPad 3, which rounded off the celebrations on a very high note.
