Childline White Balloon Campaign
Submitted by deonvt on Thu, 2012-04-19 12:22
Childline NW is raising awareness and much needed funds for operational costs at the Potchefstroom crisis line through its annual nationwide White Balloon Campaign. Balloons are sold for R10.00 each. Childline has challenged organisations to support the campaign. The Lions Club of Potchefstroom was among the first organizations to have taken on the challenge to sell balloons as direct link to its Love Box project, that focuses on traumatised and abused children. The main balloon release event is in the Potchefstroom Trimpark on 01 June 2012 at 12:00. Alternatively, balloons can be launched from any place in the country. Contact Lion Gerda for more information.
