Steyn City rides for Diepsloot
Steyn City Properties will ride for a purpose at this year's Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge.
The bike challenge encourages participants to use their time on a bicycle to make a difference. Last year this call to action, raised R6 779 941.50 for charity.
This year the company is calling on anyone associated with the Steyn City development or neighbouring residents who would like to ride for a purpose, to contact them to help raise funds for the Diepsloot community.
Last year culminated in the company bringing Christmas cheer to 8 000 primary schoolchildren in Diepsloot and the community witnessing Johannesburg’s largest Christmas gift drop ever. Together with sponsors, Auto & General, Waltons and Spar, they delivered backpacks filled with stationery sets, water bottles, soccer balls, ding bats and sweets to the school pupils.
This year the developers want to leave a legacy by providing quality playground and outdoor-exercise equipment for all Diepsloot’s primary and secondary schools. They are looking for riders to raise a portion of the funds for this much-needed initiative, as many children do not have access to this kind of equipment in their school yards or public areas.
In addition to providing hours of fun, the equipment will help develop the children’s gross motor skills, which are important for walking, maintaining balance, coordination and jumping.
