Mpumalanga U/19 Action Netball “Blik-Skud”
On Friday, some of the U/19 Action Netball girls took to the streets with an old fashion “Blik-Skud” event. Spirited and full of energy they danced, chanted and asked the Secunda residents for support with funding. All dressed up, they stole the hearts of many, who willingly gave the girls some funds.
Thank you to each and every one that helped the girls by opening up your hearts and supporting these talented bunch of young ladies. They will be at the traffic lights again this coming Friday, 31 January.
Please follow the Facebook page Mpumalanga U/19 Action Netball IPT Team for information regarding the main fundraising event on 20 February, which will be hosted by Spur Secunda.
