Foil Ball - Second R20 000 Winner

Congratulations to Lee Ann Wredy of Roodepoort who has won the second R20 000 cash prize in the second lucky draw of the Foil Ball Recycling Campaign and competition currently in operation at The Brightwater Commons.

To date approximately 215 Kilograms of used aluminium foil have been collected in the Foil Ball Record Attempt and recycling campaign; but organisers of this unusual project still need more.

The Foil Ball Campaign, first launched at The Brightwater Commons on Thursday 1st April, aims to create an awareness of recycling. Members of the public, schools and business are encouraged to support this initiative by bringing their used aluminium foil to the foil deposit point adjacent to the Woolworths store at The Brightwater Commons. Here, the used foil will be weighed, recorded, and then deposited into the giant soccer ball structure located on the grass area opposite the deposit point.

For every deposit of 50g, one can complete a Foil Ball Competition form for entry into a lucky draw. Whilst Lee-Ann has claimed the 2nd R20 000 cash prize for the month of May, there is still one more cash prize to be won for the month of June; as well as a Chana Benni 1300cc Exclusive to the value of R89 900 - the grand prize for the final draw at the end of July.

The campaign will close on Saturday 31st July. Thereafter, the foil inside the ball will be purchased by Zimalco and the funds from the purchase will go the the Lehae La Tshepo Centre. This Windsor based organisation consists of an after-care centre and a support centre. The after-care centre caters for local children from disadvantaged backgrounds, whilst the support centre offers counselling in HIV Aids and trauma, provides food parcels for the needy, and offers skills development to empower the community.

Schools, businesses and individuals wishing to be part of this project or requiring further information can contact Winton Woodrooffe on 082 379 8760.
