On your marks, get ready, GO!
“Pets as Therapy†is a Western Cape charity which harnesses the ever-willing services of pets, (dogs and others), as teaching aids for children with problems and to offer companionship and simple joy during visits to old age homes and schools. There are so many charities calling for our support, and while this may not be a mainstream one, it’s so easy to help by organising an Amazing Wine Race team.
This years Amazing Wine Race, an annual team event that promises huge fun, takes place on Saturday August 1. Teams of four take on a wide range of wacky tasks dreamed up by the 20 participating wineries in Stellenbosch and Paarl. They include wine pairings, a wine quiz, wine blending and identifying varietals; to barrel rolling, a treasure hunt and boules, among others.
The entry fee is R1800 per team, which includes coffee and a briefing session, team kits, all tastings and entertainment, the prizes and the prize-giving dinner at the end of the day. A percentage of profits raised goes to Pets as Therapy, a local charity. To book yourplaces or get more invo,contacting Björn van Oort at [email protected] or 021 981-0216 during office hours.
