GEORGE NEWS - As part of the national Kick Your Habit Challenge, SANCA George is running a telethon, in partnership with EdenFM.
This initiative will take place over 7 days, starting on Saturday 29 June 2019 until Saturday 6 July 2019.
The purpose of the challenge is to raise awareness of the complexities related to addiction.
The campaign seeks to build awareness through personal experience.
Every individual or company is welcome to take part, by giving up or reducing only one habit for that week. A habit can be anything – less nicotine, cellphone, social media, TV, coffee, tea, sugar, sweets or other snacks, fizzy drinks, whatever you perceive as a habit. Also remember it’s easier to share your burden with a friend or colleagues who are willing to participate as well.
Every day a tip or tips as support for the day will be broadcast around the hour, interesting interviews with members of the national office and former substance users will be conducted, with the big live telethon celebration on Saturday 6 July from 07:00 - 13:00 when you can phone in and pledge an amount on air.
You can then challenge a friend, colleague or other company to do the same. The following lines will be open during those hours: Telephone - 044 884 0831, or WhatsApp - 060 505 2693.
The money you save by participating in the challenge, or a donation from yourself or the company, or collections among friends, colleagues or employees can be paid into SANCA George’s back account. The details are as follows:
