Project T (Chrysalis Foundation Fund Raiser) - Thank You to all that supported.

Our Project as a MRSA Semi-Finalist was to ensure that we can raise funds for the Chrysalis Foundation. It was not about the amount that one can raise, but the way and how one goes about doing that. After having a few options and debating the pros and cons on what would be the ideal way forward, I settled on the idea of creating supporter T-Shirts that can be bought by all within our area.
The real driving factor was the fact that the T's would bear the MRSA and Chrysalis wording and the T-Shirts are certainly going to be worn for years to come.
In conjunction with my Football Club "Sporting Club of Benoni" we went public and sold to the community in which the response was incredible. "T's" were sold at R70.00 but there were certain other individuals who contributed much more towards our T-shirts and the Chrysalis Foundation.
After all the running around and major Sales negotiations over the past month, we sold all the product and managed to make R7500.00
In conjunction with the amazing donations that were given, I gave a Thank You evening for the big sponsors to appreciate what they had done and show my respect for amazing people with big hearts.


It is an amazing feeling to see people walking around the community with my T-Shirt on, proudly bearing the MRSA and Chrysalis name.
Only negative was "Time" - if we had more time we certainly could have sold many more T-Shirts as till today I am still being asked for one more "T"...
It was a great idea and huge thanks to my SCBI Team mates for all the effort; and the community for supporting so strongly!
