STRONGMAN FUNDRAISER 2019

ABOUT

Lives With A Purpose St John Strongman Fundraiser 2019, was aimed at raising donations, sponsorships and money to grow the local EMBO Community Gym, founded and supported by Alex Luthuli. 

Alex Luthuli, a well-known KZN local and respected figure, provides this facility to the community in his efforts to be a part of uplifting his community and fighting crime and drug abuse.

This particular fundraiser targeted the members of EMBO Gym and the local community exposing them to a Strongman event in the build-up for the 2020 Strongman Competition. 

Under the guidance of Alex Luthuli, with assistance and encouragement from 4 x SA Strongman Rory Scheepers and current SA Strongman Blake Louwrens, these young and enthusiastic males and females pushed themselves to achieve outstanding personal and competitive goals. 

The incredibly well-supported and sponsored event was held on 6th July, fundraising for this will continue to the 31st July as we chase our target of R50 000.00!  

Racking in just shy of half the cash required for EMBO Community Gym staff wages, expansion for drug awareness support, physical training and a library we have extended this fundraiser in conjunction with some sponsors, like Mr Battery Inanda Road, who have committed to continue to accumulate funds from the sales generated during the month of July in aid of this worthy fundraiser.

As this fundraiser is aimed at our community at large, additional funds in respect of the Shongweni K9 unit are being raised by means of a Raffle. The Raffle will also carry over until the 31st July.
