Giving support as champions are grown

The IIE’s Varsity College Sandton showed its support and love to the Growing Champions NPO by donating 50 soccer team shirts and 10 tertiary starter packs.

The Growing Champions is an organisation that works with children born into danger and aims to break the shackles of poverty, criminal rings, violence, addiction, and abuse. It uses education, personal development and sport to cultivate youth determined and armed with tools to create positive change in the world.

Public relations and events coordinator at Varsity College Anto Kagisho said the team shirts donated aimed to symbolise a sense of unity and belonging for the Growing Champions soccer teams.

“The tertiary starter packs, which included a laptop bag, a power bank, and some basic stationery, were donated to the older students who are pursuing their tertiary studies, and will enable them to carry their belongings to and from campuses with ease.”

Kagisho highlighted that the Growing Champions came out top after the staff at The IIE’s Varsity College Sandton were asked to propose three different NPOs they wanted to support and then to cast their vote.

The founder of Growing Champions, Samantha Toweel-Moore, thanked the college for its significant investment in their organisation.

“The generous involvement of the varsity has left us inspired to take the RCL SA league championship this season and power up our education. Your actions make the future bright, and we will do our part to pay it forward.”

Toweel-Moore added that they look forward to many more initiatives with the IIE’s Varsity College Sandton and perhaps even a couple of games against the men’s soccer first team.
