Bobsforgood Foundation

Heart Global & Cape Point Route are giving you the latest update into the fantastic new fun-raising and social event to hit Cape Town today (Monday 15th February). Bob Skinstad will be entertaining all as he gives up 2 weeks of his hectic schedule to campaign on behalf of the 7.5 million school children in South Africa that do not have shoes. Bob will be actively raising funds with your help for his ‘bobsforgood foundation’ which addresses this under valued social problem. heart are the champions behind the management and organization of the whole campaign.

bobsforgood was born out of the need to give pride and dignity to South African children who currently go to school barefoot. Bob saw an opportunity to provide full leather school shoes to disadvantaged children with a view to restoring their confidence and pride. Bob has taken it upon himself to launch an array of fun packed, fun-raising and interactive events all under the one campaign called ‘Walk This Way’. With your help and a little work Bob can make sure that children who need shoes go to school how they should – protected from the harsh African terrain and with a sense of dignity.

Listen to KFM from 8am on Monday to reveal the event's antics! Bob will live in a make shift jail cell for 5 nights at the V&A Waterfront’s Barrow Court from Monday 15th February to 20th February. Everyone is welcome to meet Bob, make a difference, have fun, win excellent prizes, meet Bob’s passionate team and learn more about the social space in South Africa. There is something in store each day for everyone! The aim of the ‘jail break’ is to raise as much funding as possible, so we can reach out and benefit the 5000 neediest children in the Cape.

After a farewell speech at the Waterfront’s Amphitheatre, Bob will commence a community walk from the Waterfront to Newlands stadium. Everyone is welcome to join the walk to the JP Naude supporters club if you don’t have a ticket to the game. We fully encourage fancy dress, corporate colours, sports gear and anything that makes us look as colourful as the bobsforgood logo!

From Sunday 21st Bob begins the epic journey across the Western Cape visiting the neediest schools, making our donations with the public funds raised and of course meeting as many people as possible on our way! Bob needs as much funds raised to ensure we meet the needs of 4000 of the Cape's poorest children. Bob wants to shoe them all but he needs your help!

The tour finale will happen on Sunday 28th February where Bob will lead happy drivers from Noordhoek Farm Village at 10am on a Peninsula tour heading back to the Waterfront. The tour is completely free to anyone who would like to join and is being organized by the magic of Sally Grierson of the Cape Point Route.
