This winter, OFM invites listeners, clients, and stakeholders to come and play their part for charity at various drives, including the popular Shoprite Checkers OFM Chip 4 Charity golf days and Boeries 4 Blankets fundraiser.

The Sound of Your Life will be stopping off in Hartswater, Potchefstroom, and Bethlehem.

According to Anchen Lintvelt, OFM sales and marketing manager, these two campaigns are designed to help those in need during the cold winter months and to contribute towards making a difference in the lives of individuals with health-related problems.

“We are very excited to be able to host the Shoprite Checkers OFM Chip 4 Charity golf days again this year, and even more to bring the famous ‘Boerie’ sales back! Our partners play a massive role in helping us execute these events successfully and we want to invite the community to support us by getting in touch with the Round Tables involved to show your support. Or, just come and make your donation by buying a boerie!”

When the cold bites, take a bite of a boerie! Ahead of the Chip 4 Charity events, Boeries 4 Blankets challenges you to buy a boerie for a donation of R30 or more and make the cold months a little warmer for those in need. Round Table will use the donations to purchase blankets, clothes and food for old age and children’s homes in the towns.

Chip 4 Charity will once again see golfers going for gold on the green. This year’s beneficiaries
are:
– Jan Roux (17) from Hartswater was diagnosed with Myoepithelial Carcinoma in March this year.
He has received radiation treatment but the cancer has not gone into remission. Jan now requires
chemotherapy.
– Louisa Klopper from Potchefstroom requires surgery and chemotherapy as part of her breast
cancer treatment.
– Lisa Engelbrecht (5) from Bethlehem is battling chronic granulomatous disease. She received a
stem cell transplant, but her body rejected it, and she requires further treatment.

The format for all three golf days will be a four-ball alliance, with two scores to count. There will also be R45 000 in prizes up for grabs across the three golf days. The four-balls can be booked at R2 000 (each four-ball includes an OFM gift, a round of 18 holes, a halfway lunch, dinner, and live entertainment). See booking details for each venue below.
