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
Listen up! The coach is talking!
Right, this is our Game Plan. HEY! YOU OVER THERE … GET UP AND GET OUT OF THOSE PAISLEY PAJAMAS!
This is how we at Maties Sport and the Alumni Office are tackling Covid-19, because Covid-19 is giving a number of our Maties Sport students a Very. Tough. Time. These guys are trying to pay the balance of their tuition fees, but lockdown, the virus, the economy … you know the drill all too well … is making it extremely difficult. And here at Stellenbosch University we’re not going to drop our student-athletes after all the time and effort they’ve put in – and STILL do. We will stand by them!
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 July, 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:
Why not DONATE and JOIN to get the ball rolling?
You can sponsor any member of our Maties Sport fundraisers in your chosen sports field, as indicated below, for every km they crush. Get your family, friends, colleagues or old team mates to donate and join up.
