On 11 June 2024, a heart-warming scene unfolded as the Purple Team’s Kempton Park branch, in collaboration with the Hollywood Foundation’s CSI Team, visited Bush Buck Ridge FC. This visit was a significant part of the Foundation’s Sports Development Programme, designed to extend a helping hand to communities in need. On this day, one of the Foundation’s core pillars, Sports Development, came to life as they presented a vital contribution of soccer kits to the enthusiastic Club.
The Hollywood Foundation’s unwavering commitment to CSI was clearly demonstrated as they engaged with both the Club and the local community. The soccer kits were met with overwhelming joy and gratitude by the players and coaching staff. This generous act highlighted the Foundation’s dedication to fostering equal opportunities in sports, especially at the Grassroots level, where resources are often scarce, and support is most needed.
The impact of the CSI contribution was palpable. Coach Mandla of Bush Buck Ridge FC could hardly contain his excitement as he expressed his heartfelt thanks. He stated, “We are extremely grateful for the support from the Hollywood Foundation. The new kits will significantly boost our Team’s morale and performance. We were struggling to provide kits for our players, and this contribution is a game-changer for us.” His words reflected the profound difference that the Foundation’s support made to the Team, both in terms of practical resources and morale.
The event was a celebration of community spirit and the positive impact of CSI initiatives. The day was filled with cheers, smiles, and a renewed sense of hope for the future. The Hollywood Foundation’s efforts underscored their commitment to supporting local sports and ensuring that every player, regardless of their background, can excel.
