UTCT 2017- 100km, 65km, 35km race on Saturday 2 December 2017, to raise funds to feed underprivileged school children. J-FRED’s fundraising target for this project is R54 000, which will enable PSFA to provide all the learners on our feeding programme at Mandalay Primary School with daily meals while at school. The members of J-FRED hereby appeal to you to please support their campaign by making a donation in any amount to PSFA. This can be done securely on our website www.psfa.org.za.dedi817.jnb1.host-h.net, post us a cheque with a cover letter or make an EFT payment into our bank account. Please use the reference ‘J-FRED’. 100% of all donations made in support of this amazing campaign will go towards feeding these children.

Julius Oosthuizen says “J-FRED’s first big event was the Ultra Trail Cape Town race in 2016”, where a few of us ran the 65km event and the majority of the group ran the 35km. This year two of us have graduated to the 100km at UTCT, we have one member who is taking on the 65km for the first time and we’ll all be out in force in the 35km as well”. “Before the 2016 event we decided as a group to support a charity while taking part in UTCT,” says Julius. “We chose the Shine Literacy Campaign, where a number of us are involved as volunteers as well, and managed to raise just over R25 000. This year we decided to select PSFA as our charity of choice because as runners, we know how important good nutrition is, and the thought of being able to help needy children through a school day, makes our participation in UCTC that much more meaningful.” About UTCT UTCT is part of the international Ultra Trail series of races, which are known for being extremely challenging and technical. The 100km event involves more than 4,000m of vertical ascent, which is the equivalent of climbing Table Mountain four times, and includes varied terrain like rocky paths, forest trails and sand. Visit www.ultratrailcapetown.com/100km for more information. About J-FRED J-FRED is an informal trail running group consisting of nine people which was formed in 2016. All of the members are close friends, and the idea behind the group is to encourage each other to keep training consistently and push their trail-running boundaries. The group tries to meet for a regular long run on the weekends, and then also to do some stair / climbing work on Table Mountain mid-week. J-FRED does not have any formal websites or Facebook pages, but if you would like to support the campaign you can email Julius directly (julius.oosthuizen@gmail.com), and he will provide you with more details.

Surrey Primary School, Emma Sham, fundraising director of the Golden Key International Honours Society, UCT Chapter, presented our fundraising manager, Charles Grey with cheque in the amount of R16 150. This amount which will enable PSFA to provide a class of 36 underprivileged learners at this school with nutritious daily meals for an entire year, was raised by the members of Golden Key UCT who organised the following fundraising events on our behalf during 2017:

1. Eat a Burger Feed a Child at the Golden Arrow Spur in Newlands on April 4. The members of the Golden Key Society UCT worked as waitrons. This Spur donated 10% of its evening’s turnover and R1 800 was raised.
2. Pub Quiz for UCT students on June 8 – this was an extremely well-supported event raising R3 200.
3. Concert at Trenchtown in Observatory on September 22 – this was the biggest event for the year featuring two bands, Dom Chaung and Mobbing Bali as well as a soloist, Cuan Robertson, who all kindly performed for free – thank you! The concert raised a whopping R4 000 from door takings.
4. Proceeds from the sale of Golden Key Society branded hoodies – the members have been selling these popular hoodies throughout the year and managed to raise a fantastic R7 150.

A big thank you to the Golden Key Society UCT for your support!

World Food Day 2017, a group of PSFA staff joined forces with the volunteers at Jabulani Community Organisation in Parkwood today to prepare and serve after-school meals to over 600 hungry school children and elderly people.
