Egoli Project 4000
Update
Egoli Project 4000 raises more than R400 000,00!
M-Net’s popular daily drama Egoli broadcast its 4000th
episode on Friday 03 August 2007. Egoli, and South Africa’s
favourite flame-grilled burger specialists, Steers, created
a scrumptious limited edition 'Egoli Burger' to raise funds
for this initiative, called Project 4000.
On, Saturday 4 August, between 9:00 and 17:00, the 'Egoli
Burger' was sold at all Steers restaurants throughout the
country. Many of the Egoli stars were also on duty at
various Steers outlets, signing autographs, and of course
promoting the sales of 'Egoli Burgers'.
R7 from the sale of each burger (costing only R20) was
donated to JAM. M-Net also donated another R10 to the first
4000 Egoli Burgers sold.
On the 31 August 2007; Egoli stars Shaleen Sutie-Richards
and Hannes van Wyk together with producers from Franz Marx
Films, Steers and M-Net visited Orange Farm to donate R429
887,50 to JAM. A staggering 51 920 burgers were sold at all
Steers outlets nationwide. The total funds raised include
funds donated via sms on the 3rd August.
This money will be used to help alleviate poverty in South
Africa through the following programs:
• Provision of a daily school meal to 614 children for a
full year
• Assisting 100 families, including the elderly and people
infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, with a highly nutritious
and well balanced monthly food pack.
JAM wishes to thank Egoli, Steers and M-net for partnering
in celebrating the 4000th episode of Egoli in such a special
way, and thank you to the many thousands of people who
supported this initiative by buying an Egoli burger on
Saturday 4 August 2007 - thank you for your support!
