This weekend also saw me organize a Spinathon to benefit The Chrysalis Foundation. Thanks to the Lakeside Mall, who agreed to let me use the space. Also many thanks to Innocent Dube, Marketing manager of the Benoni Virgin Active club, who agreed to let me use three of their Spinning bicycles for the event.
It was quite a busy morning in the mall with the end of month rush, and the pre-Christmas excitement. Hordes of people streamed into the mall to spend money on Christmas gifts for friends and family.
A respectable amount of money was raised for the cause. However, what was more important was doing some “footwork” to raise awareness. Flyers were handed out to bystanders, explaining the work that The Chrysalis Foundation does.
Posters were also put up to attract the attention of curious passers by. Overall it was an effective effort at showing that there are still people out there that care. It is also quite appropriate for the 16 Days of Activism Campaign, as we need to mobilize against the moral evils that face our society in every day life.
