Stand a chance to win a car with SA Guide-Dogs this Mandela Day

One way of helping is by sponsoring their puppies and becoming a Litter Legend.

The SA Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind (SAGDA) needs your help this Mandela Day (July 18).

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the association has not been able to host any of its planned fund-raising initiatives.

Initiatives such as Mandela Day give them a platform to reach out to the public for donations to keep our dogs in training and supporting people who are visually impaired with assistive devices and training.

SAGDA relies on supporters to help contribute towards changing lives.

Ways for individuals and corporates to take action and enable SAGDA to continue with the life-changing work they do:

• Help by raising funds to purchase 67 assistive devices. • Sponsor their puppies and become a Litter Legend. Follow each litter’s journey from puppyhood through training and eventually placement with a client.

• Friends, family and colleagues can individually sign up for monthly debit orders or choose to collectively raise funds to make a once-off donation of R670, R6 700 or even R67 000

• Stand a chance to win a new Suzuki Swift 1.2 GLXMT and purchase 67 car raffle tickets.

For 68 years, the association has made a significant impact in the lives of people with visual or physical impairment and children with low-spectrum autism.

The association’s success relies solely on the generosity of members of the public and corporate organisations, they need your help.
