Moving Forward Together
Help with outstanding tuition fees for Maties Sport Student-Athletes who have lost financial support due to the impact of Covid-19
#Train4Fees has gone into extra time and the stakes have been raised. With 30 additional days and a new target of R2 million, #Train4Fees is going the extra mile for our Matie student athletes.
Thanks to your generosity and support we have already raised R732,137 (as at 31 July 2020). We especially need you in the home stretch to help us crush the new target of R2 million by 31 August 2020.
Times were tough for these student athletes before lockdown and with COVID-19 things have become increasingly difficult for our star performers. With your continued support, we know that we can help our student athletes overcome the biggest obstacle on their way to success.
OUR GAME PLAN:
#Train4Fees. That’s the name of our game. Maties Sport coaches, players, ex-players and supporters have put up their hands in support of THEIR PLAYERS! From 1 June until 31 August, they will put on their running shoes, get on their bicycles, put a leash on Fido and together with many other Maties Alumni and their supporters, will run and cycle to help our players with their tuition fees. Click here to see who’s joining our #Train4Fees support base.
For each kilometre, funds will be raised.
HOW YOU CAN SHOW YOUR SUPPORT:
