Have you always wanted to recognise or honour unsung heroes who are doing phenomenal work in your community, but didn’t know where to start? Well, here’s your chance!
Because we know not all heroes wear capes, the Advertiser and West Pack Lifestyle want to reward Boksburg’s heroes, people who value and understand the term ubuntu by putting the needs of their community first.
These are people who walk among us every day, doing good here and there in small ways but making a massive difference through their good deeds.
We’re not looking for celebrities, just our ordinary Boksburgers who go about their business but always have time to think of others and put up their hand for a good cause.
Think of people who are doing good for our environment, animal lovers, those who run soup kitchens or fill the odd pothole and pick up litter on the weekend, care workers, NPO workers or teachers and business people who have a heart for the less fortunate and care about their city.
By nominating these individuals, you could put them in line to win a R1 000 West Pack Lifestyle voucher to spend however they wish.
And because we love animals too and know how awesome they are, we are open to animal heroes being nominated too.
This is a monthly competition, so there is plenty of time to put forward the names of those you think are worthy of being the Hero of the Month.
For this month, entries will close on July 16, so don’t miss out.
How does it work?
Celebrate that hero in your community by nominating them as the Advertiser/West Pack Lifestyle Hero of the Month.
Send your full name and contact details and the full name and contact details of the person you are nominating to our hero hunter, Ntombikayise Sibeko, and include a motivation about your hero of no more than 200 words.
A few rules:
• The hero nominated must live in Boksburg.
• Your entry must include a motivation of no more than 200 words.
• The winner will be selected by the Caxton Local Media team.
• The winner must be prepared to be interviewed and photographed for the newspaper.
• This first call for nominations closes on July 16.
Give Ntombi a shout at ntombis@caxton.co.za if you have any questions or phone her on 011 916 5385.
Good luck and we look forward to meeting all our local heroes and making them famous.
