Get ready for the return of the Winter Knights
This year, the Winter Knights are planning to spread the campaign beyond the borders of Round Table by inviting local sport, social and community organisations to take up the challenge.
WHILE temperatures begin to plummet and the long, cold nights set in, the Winter Knights of the Round Table are gearing up to once again bring the joy of warmth to thousands of less fortunate and destitute people who are faced with surviving the cold winter months.
“We are a family-orientated young men’s organisation, which make serving communities a fun experience. Over the past decade, the annual Winter Knights campaign has successfully seen the collection and distribution of blankets, warm clothing and hot meals to thousands in need each year. This project brings hope and smiles that warm the hearts of every life touched by Winter Knights, whether it’s on the receiving or giving end of the campaign,” explains Leon Garbade, president of Round Table Southern Africa.
This year, the Winter Knights are planning to spread the campaign beyond the borders of Round Table by inviting local sport, social and community organisations to take up the challenge and join them in collecting and distributing blankets and warm clothing for shelters, old-age homes, orphanages and other deserving recipients.
“Our aim is to create a fun challenge between community organisations, so that the joy of being a Winter Knight can be experienced during the months of June and July. In this way, we plan to increase the reach of the campaign and to share the fun role that Round Table plays in serving the community,” concludes Garbade.
One hundred and sixty Tables throughout South Africa are planning a variety of exciting fund-raising events to collect donations of blankets, warm clothing, non-perishable food and funds.
