Chrysalis Football Indoor Tournament Fundraiser: Mr South Africa 2012 Charity Event

My Chrysalis Foundation Fundraiser took place this past Saturday at the Benoni Action Arena. I organised an Indoor Football Tournament where entrance fee was charged all in the name of Chrysalis Foundation.

Marketing was intense building up to the the day as I had an amount in mind that I wanted to raise and hence teams needed to attend.

Negative: Unfortunately I did not reach the number that I was looking for as certain teams that confirmed, did not pitch up on the day.

Positive: We still had a great day of fun filled football; and after expenses were paid and prize money given, we still managed to make a substantial profit for the Chrysalis Foundation

Below are some great pics from the day:

Top 2 teams from both groups then went into a Semi-Final and a Winners and Losers Final was played at 2:30 pm, making it a full day of entertaining Football.

Referee's for the Day

 It was an incredible day shared with some great people and certainly a memorable one in my books.
The feeling of giving back by raising funds for a great organisation like the Chrysalis Foundation, surely does makes all the hard work and long hours that were put into making this day a success ... all worth it!
