Each year the Lambton-based Tebbutt’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy holds a collection for a deserving children’s home.
The Loerie Youth Centre was selected to receive this year’s donation.
The centre is a children’s home situated in Bronkhorstspruit that currently cares for 37 underprivileged children.
The children have been placed in the home as their parents can no longer provide a healthy and safe environment for them, for various reasons.
