Nominations open for Elders Awards Do you know of an elderly person who is making a profound difference in the community? Then why not nominate them for a Community Champions Elders Award. They may be feeding the hungry children in your street or knitting jerseys, blankets or teddies for babies in hospitals. They may also be running a soup kitchen for the homeless or even provide free lift clubs for their peers on pension or social grant payout days or their weekly shopping trips. TygerBurger and Specsavers are looking to honour these elderly
gems who, despite their age, are still going out of their way to make a difference in the lives of others and continue to service their community. Elderly citizens from anywhere in the Cape who are making a difference in the lives of others can be nominated in two categories, ages 70-80 and 80 plus. Nominations for the awards close on Wednesday 20 July. A panel of judges consisting of representatives from SpecSavers, SA Care Forum, TygerBurger and its sister publications, People’s Post and City Vision, will select three finalists in each of the two
categories. The finalists will be notified by Monday 15 August.
They will later be featured in TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision. The first TygerBurger SpecSavers Community Champions Elders Award function is set to take place on International Older Persons Day on Saturday 1 October in the form of a high tea. Wonderful prizes will be awarded to show the appreciation and affirmation to the three finalists in each category as well as the people who nominated the winners. Nomination forms can be downloaded from www.specsavers.co.za or the TygerBurger Facebook page.
Nomination forms are also available at the TygerBurger office in Bellville and the following SpecSavers stores: Blue Route Mall, Wynberg, Maynard Mall, Cavendish Square, Rondebosch, Cape Town Station, Kenilworth Centre, Promenade, Westgate Mall, Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Zevenwacht, Tygervalley, N1 City, Bayside, Parow Centre, Canal Walk and CapeGate.
