Wellington Golf Day a Wilde success

This past Friday, we had a highly successful cowboy and cowgirl themed golf day at the Wellington Golf Club in sweltering spring weather.

22 teams, comprised of four players each, battled it out on the course - quenching their thirst with non other than refreshing Wilde Fruit Juice and snacks at various holes along the course. The golf day was a fundraiser for the NG Noord Congregation in Wellington and we managed to raise a staggering R130 000!

We would like to give a big thanks to our sponsors and prize sponsors for making this day possible, and ensuring that all golf day players went home with a prize. Wilde Fruit Juice is proud to have been involved with this fundraiser.

Wilde supports M-Net Cares Drive

The M-Net Cares Drive was a phenomenal success this year with just over R580 000 being raised for two equally deserving charities: The M-Net Naledi Children's Literacy Project and The PinkDrive Breast Cancer Initiative. These projects respectively aim to improve the illiteracy rate and create awareness about breast cancer throughout the country.

Pictured below is Noelene Kotschan (PinkDrive) who receives a well deserved cheque of just over R280 000 from Koo Govender (M-Net Director of Corporate Marketing and Communications), Shelley Segal (Liberty Medical Scheme) and Gina Read (Cloud9Golf).

The totality of the event was a series of 24 Ambassador Golf days which were hosted nation wide, culminating in the National Final at the Randpark Golf Club. Wilde was proud to be a part of such a charitable event, keeping the golf players hydrated throughout the series - tantalising some taste buds we're sure!

Wilde Wheelchairs in action

Inspiring athletes participated in the annual Mitchells Plain Wheelchair Race which was held at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre. This was the race's third consecutive year of providing disabled athletes with an opportunity to shine and Wilde Fruit Juice was there to tantalise some taste buds!

The race boasts several categories which include Paraplegics, Quadriplegics and Cerebral Palsy. Professional athletes took part in a challenging 22km race, whilst beginners tested their skills in an 800m sprint and another race for powered wheelchairs.

Wilde Fruit Juice would like to congratulate Zanele who was the winner of the ladies 6km race, pictured below with her proud daughter. And well done to all athletes for taking part in this event.

Should you wish to join in on the fun next year, please take a look at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre website for additional information.

Orange River Runs Wilde

Just take a look at our smartly dressed, Wilde Orange River guides who teamed up to encourage 20 members of the media to take part in an unforgettable African Canoeing Adventure of a lifetime.

Fun in the sun and activities on the river were enjoyed by all - even the three media representatives from America! What a treat it was to have foreigners join in on our adventure and experience the refreshing taste of Wilde fruit juice!

Renosterveld Challenge a Great Success

This year’s Ride the Rhino Mountain Bike Challenge, hosted by ‘The Renosterveld Trust’, was a great success with Team Wilde riders, Reniell Matthysen and Timo Cooper, taking 2nd place. Superb effort guys!

Wilde fruit juice proudly sponsored this event, tantalizing riders taste buds at fuel stop stations along the way, and more importantly helping to raise awareness about the plight of the Rhino in South Africa. Did you know that only 4% of the Renosterveld habitat remains? Wilde encourages all SA citizens to be a part of this endeavor by helping to promote conservation and the natural beauty of our scenic country.

Be sure to be involved with the next Renosterveld MTB Challenge. Visit www.renosterveldmtb.co.za for more information. Wilde hopes to see you there!
