Support the Domino Foundation this Mandela Day
The buckets will be distributed to families in crisis through churches, schools, creches and community centres.
Excitement is mounting at the Domino Foundation as the countdown for this year’s Mandela Day celebration has begun.
“The message behind Mandela Day is simple – everyone has the ability and the responsibility to change the world for the better. This year we invite all corporates, schools and individuals to rally behind the Mandela Day call and join the #DominoEffect of transforming lives,” said CEO, Shaun Tait.
“As we celebrate the 100th year of Madiba’s birth, we understand that not everyone can take time out of their work day to be with us for Mandela Day and so we have created an exciting challenge for corporates or schools to celebrate Mandela Day at their offices.”
The Domino Foundation’s Legacy Challenge invites individuals to run collection drives throughout each department or class, gathering items from wish lists to be sorted and packed into buckets on Mandela Day, Wednesday 18 July.
