Hollywood Foundation Launches R8 Million ‘Back to School’ Campaign to Empower South African Learners
The Hollywood Foundation is set to make a significant impact at the start of the new school year with the relaunch of its “Back to School” campaign, committing a substantial R8 million to support and empower learners across South Africa. By providing essential school supplies, the foundation aims to alleviate the financial burden on parents and set students on a path to academic success.
Collaborative Efforts for Greater Reach
This year’s campaign is distinguished by its collaborative nature, featuring partnerships with Hollywoodbets Brand Ambassadors, various non-profit organizations, sports clubs, and celebrated figures like musicians Khuli Chana, Big Zulu, Sjava, and rugby star Makazole Mampimpi. These collaborations are pivotal in selecting schools and amplifying the campaign’s message, ensuring a wider impact across diverse communities.
In a concerted effort to extend the campaign’s influence, Hollywoodbets’ 97 retail branches across the country will play an active role in the initiative. These branches are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of learners, especially in the communities where they operate, demonstrating the foundation’s dedication to grassroots impact.
Empowering the Future
The “Back to School” campaign, which will begin its handovers on 22 January 2024, is more than just a supply drive; it’s a movement towards empowering the youth of South Africa. “Education is the key to unlocking the full potential of our youth, and through this campaign, we aim to foster a community where education is a beacon of hope and opportunity,” stated Vuyisile Ngobese, PR Officer for the Hollywood Foundation.
By equipping children with necessary uniforms and stationery, the foundation seeks to eliminate barriers to education and ease the emotional stress on families, paving the way for a brighter future for the next generation.
