Outdoor boxing studio raises awareness for a charity
Members of the community show how charity and fitness can go hand in hand.
The River Crescent Shopping Centre was filled with excitement and music was to be heard from afar.
It was all for a good cause and to promote healthy living.
In the parking lot you could see a lot of exercise equipment and boxing bags hanging ready for the day of exercise and fun.
The proceeds and donations were in aid of the New Life Children’s Home which currently is housing 21 children, even though it has a maximum capacity of 36, but because of minimum funding and resources depleting, the children’s home can only accommodate a certain amount.
The day aimed to change those numbers for the better.
“Financially the New Life Children’s Home needs the community’s support”, said one of the organizers, Anna Aniftos.
“We are trying to create awareness in the community by combining fitness, and the money that we are donating will help this cause tremendously,” Anna said.
Planet Fitness and in association with Pick n Pay River Crescent and Net-So Fitness and other stakeholders helped the children’s home to receive a well-needed donation of R20 000, making this day a huge success.
