OLD MEDALS, NEW MEANING: Donate and Make a Difference
If youβve got old medals sitting in a shoe box, gathering dust in your garage or a pesky spouse nagging you about decluttering the home, then Stacy Henning has set up the perfect recycling solution with drop-off points around Gauteng:
β’ Crunch Fitness Studio, 1 Vosloo Street, Northmead, Benoni (Contact: Cass)
β’ Cycle Lab, Fourways (Contact: Anette)
β’ Run-A-Way Sport, Lynwood, Pretoria
The medals will be given to Bling-for-Bravery who have handed out 3,500 medals, books, teddy bears, clothes and stationery to children across the country.
Dean Dicks, who founded Bling-for-Bravery, explained the impact your old medals will have, βWe have witnessed how a single medal can make a child so overwhelming happy and confident after surgery; how our miles on the road put so many smiles on these kidsβ faces and a small medal memento for their brave achievement after surgery will be remembered and cherished forever.β
The cutoff date for medal drop-offs is 30 January.
EDIT: William from PostNet Sandton City has offered to be a dropoff point and will courier the medals for free.
