aQuellé donates Tour Durban water to disaster relief project

THE Tour Durban’s title sponsor, aQuellé, has stepped onto the top step of the podium with a massive donation to The Domino Foundation’s drive to provide relief aid hampers to vulnerable families and communities hit hard by the coronavirus lockdown.

The race, which was originally scheduled to have taken place over the weekend, has now been postponed to a later date which is yet to be announced.

The brand has donated all the product that they would have given to the various water tables and finishers this weekend to The Domino Foundation’s Disaster Response project which provides food, water and aid to disadvantaged communities north and south of Durban.

“While we will miss not being able to connect with all the riders this weekend, this actually addresses the main reason behind the aQuellé Tour Durban, supporting the Domino Foundation and making a difference in people’s lives,” said aQuellé’s marketing manager Suzelle Stegen.

“The motto of the aQuellé Tour Durban is Ride4Good, so for every participant that would have taken part we will donate a bottle of water to those in need.”

“It is an amazing gesture and reflects the way South Africans are pulling together to deal with the Covid-19 crisis,” said The Domino Foundation’s CEO Shaun Tait.

“Water is such a fundamental commodity at this time, and the pallets of aQuellé that have arrived at our Disaster Response Distribution Centre today will make a huge difference to the households that we are trying to assist, and hopefully put a smile on a lot of faces during this tough time.”
