Fundraising & Sponsorship

When Generosity Meets Purpose

At Border Icons in Sport, we believe fundraising is more than a financial transaction — it’s an opportunity to unite, inspire, and change lives. Our events aren’t just about money; they’re about meaning.

The Celebrity Golf Challenge, now a premier annual event on our calendar, embodies this spirit. Launched in Gauteng to expand our donor base and hosted with precision, it brings together legends from cricket, football, rugby, and entertainment to play for purpose. In 2022 alone, the challenge raised over R230,000 — funding our youth programs, community grants, and mentorship platforms.

The day is more than golf. It’s where Temba Bavuma and Brian Baloyi shake hands with first-time donors. Where brands like SA Breweries, Sun International, and Hirsch’s become catalysts for social change. Where auctions turn into advocacy, and tee-offs mark the start of new beginnings.

Beyond golf, our community-focused campaigns — like the wheelchair donations for local patients and the countless raffles and raffles — ensure even everyday people can participate in transformation. Every R50 ticket becomes a part of our mosaic of impact.

Fundraising, to us, is both art and advocacy. We are constantly building partnerships with local businesses, national sponsors, and community champions who share our belief that sport can be a tool for justice, opportunity, and unity.
