Vitality partners with Gift of the Givers to support those affected by fire in CT

Vitality MoveToGive is supporting philanthropic organisation, the Gift of the Givers to provide relief to vulnerable people, as devastating fires threaten Cape Town and surrounding communities.

Through MoveToGive donation campaigns, Vitality members can now donate their Discovery Miles earned from Vitality Active Rewards to Gift of the Givers, toward their relief efforts in aid of those affected by the fires in Cape Town.

Discovery Miles for the Vitality MoveToGive initiatives, donated by our members have contributed significantly to helping those in need. Dinesh Govender, Vitality CEO says: “Vitality is committed to quick, impactful action via our MoveToGive initiatives and right now, there is a dire need for support to manage the impact of this devastating event.”

“We are always proud to partner with The Gift of the Givers Foundation who began their relief efforts by providing meals and essential items to vulnerable students, firefighters and others affected as soon as news of the fire at UCT and surrounds reached them. Now, our members can support the organisation. The Discovery Fund will match all donations.”

•For 200 Discovery Miles – Donate a meal to a vulnerable student or firefighter affected by the Cape Town fires with Gift of the Givers.
