Best foot forward for Advancement in School Shoe Drive
SHOES: Advancement Department staff are urging colleagues to walk the talk
Friday, 27 February 2015
The Advancement Department has thrown its weight behind the first social responsibility drive of CPUT’s 10 year anniversary campaign.
With just one week of the School Shoe Drive remaining, staffers from the fundraising arm of CPUT each contributed a pair of brand-new school shoes – and are challenging colleagues to do the same.
Advancement Director Calvin Maseko says, “We’re fully behind this drive, which aims to put shoes on the feet of those who might one day study right here with us. While we’re usually tasked with raising millions to support those who learn and teach at CPUT, this is a small, but tangible way to show we care. We’re urging our colleagues and students on the Cape Town Campus and all other campuses, to do the same.”
Shoes will be collected up until the first week of March. Staff and students can also make this a team effort and get together with a colleague or two to buy a pair of shoes. Any size and make of school shoes for boys and girls are welcome.
Contributions can be dropped off at the offices of the following staff members on your campus:
- Bellville Campus: Yanga Malusi (Administration Building – Marketing and Communication Office, second floor)
- Cape Town: Samuel Meintjies (Administration Building –main entrance)
- Mowbray Campus: Alisha Salie (Switchboard – ground floor)
- Wellington Campus: Loretta Adonis (Business Faculty - ground floor)
- Granger Bay: Luke van Rensburg (Hotel School)
