Slam-Dunk!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The fundraising target for the 2023 SBS Wheelchair Challenge was set at R200,000 and thanks to the generosity of SBS supporters, was exceeded again this year.\u00a0 We were once again astounded by the generosity of our SBS supporters which resulted in a total of R366,197 in cash, direct donations, wheelchairs, and equipment.<\/p>\n

CEO On-Board for the 3rd year in a row<\/h4>\n

For the third year in a row, the CEO of The SBS Group, Delayne Gray spent 14 hours of his day in a wheelchair on 30 March 2023, as part of<\/p>\n

the Little Eden CEO Wheelchair Challenge. This included attending a breakfast meeting at a local restaurant where Gray tested out the accessibility of bathroom facilities for wheelchair users \u2013 finding them impossible to navigate.<\/p>\n

Building for Better Takes a Team<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Part of the SBS DNA is to #BuildforBetter. As a result, SBS challenged staff, clients, suppliers, and stakeholders to “Get On-Board” with the challenge again this year. The SBS Wheelchair Basketball Challenge, hosted at the SBS Tanks manufacturing facility in Durban, South Africa, saw 12 teams compete against wheelchair basketball teams from the eThekwini Spears and eThekwini Warriors. Learners from Westville Boys High, DJs from East Coast Radio, staff from beneficiary Made for More, from SBS, suppliers, and clients got on board to experience the challenge of playing basketball in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

Highlight on the SBS Calendar<\/h4>\n

The event has become a highlight of the SBS calendar, with SBS staff getting involved to clear a section of the factory, prepare the court, serve refreshments, and cheer on the sidelines, as well as play in the matches. Suppliers, family, and friends also join in what has been described as both a fun and eye-opening day.<\/p>\n

A BIG THANK YOU!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you, once again, to all who participated in making the SBS Wheelchair Challenge 2023 a huge success. We look forward to bringing you an even Bigger and Better event next year, raising awareness and funds to Build for Better for people living with limited mobility.<\/p>\n
