THE Paarl Post’s Christmas fundraising project is in aid of the Western Cape Community Chest, which supports about 30 local deserving non-profit organisations.
Community Chest already makes considerable annual contributions to these NGOs (about R500 000 per year) and local businesses are invited to give them a boost by contributing to the coffers via the Paarl Post Christmas Fund.
All contributions are paid into a separate bank account, to ensure that local contributions are utilised for local NGOs.
No contributions will be paid to organisations outside the Paarl district.
The Paarl Post hereby appeals to its readers to support us with this project, which will ensure that your donation goes to local charities only.
Any company making a sizeable donation to the Paarl Post Christmas Fund as part of their social responsibility expenditure, will be featured in the newspaper with a photograph of the presentation.
Send donations to the Paarl Post Christmas Fund, PO Box 248, Paarl 7620 or pay donations directly into the Community Chest/ Paarl Post bank account 62152029007 at FNB (branch number 261150) and fax the slip to 021-872-9280 (attention Christmas Fund).
For enquiries, contact Conrad Rademeyer, manager of Paarl Post (021-807-3717), or Anne Kruger, editor of Paarl Post (021-870-3701) or edit@paarlpost. co.za.
Community Chest supports only formal organisations who submit financial statements.
The Chest is chaired by Brian O’Connell (rector of UWC).
All donations go directly to charity, while administration costs are financed from other sources, such as bequests from deceased estates.
