Pick n Pay supports P10 000 donation to Cancer Association

Pick n' Pay Molapo Crossing and the Parents Teachers Association of Broadhurst Primary School on Thursday handed over a cheque for P10 000 in support of the Cancer Association of Botswana.

The funds were raised through the Annual 2009 Cycle Race, a PTA fundraiser which has been a calendar event for the past six years. The supermarket chain supported the Parents Teachers Association's fundraiser, resulting in the donation made to the Cancer Association of Botswana (CAB) on Thursday.

Handing over the donation, PTA Chairperson, Venessa Boshoff said every year the association held several fundraising activities, including the Cycle Race, with the proceeds going towards various charitable organisations. "The Cancer Association of Botswana is one of the charities that has benefited from the PTA's fundraising activities, but it is not the only one. Last year, we gave out P28 000 to four charities, including this donation being made to the CAB," she said.
