Hike Against GBVFA & Community Charity Drive

Rietvlei Farm, Johannesburg

Moving With Purpose. Giving With Heart.

Join Elevation Collective Club for a special Elevated Experience dedicated to community impact, awareness, and collective action.

This month's event will center around our partnership with Hike Against GBVFA, bringing together individuals, community organizations, and purpose-driven brands for a day focused on raising awareness around Gender-Based Violence, Femicide, and Androcide, while supporting vulnerable members of our community through a charity drive initiative led in partnership with Stella Rose Foundation.

Through movement, education, and service, we aim to create an experience that not only brings people together but also encourages meaningful participation in causes that affect our society. By combining wellness, community engagement, and giving back, we hope to create meaningful and lasting impact for both participants and beneficiaries alike.

The primary focus of the day is to unite our community behind two important objectives:

• Raising awareness around Gender-Based Violence, Femicide, and Androcide through Hike Against GBVFA.
• Supporting vulnerable individuals and families through a community charity drive, blanket collection, and soup kitchen initiative in partnership with Stella Rose Foundation.

We believe that movement can be a powerful catalyst for change, creating opportunities for people to connect, engage in important conversations, and actively contribute to improving the lives of others.

Together, we aim to create a space where awareness is transformed into action, and where every participant has the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution toward building stronger, safer, and more compassionate communities.
