OFM winter drives raise over R500 000 for Central South Africa─── 11:34 Fri, 28 Jul 2023
This winter OFM, the Sound of Your Life, invited listeners, clients, and stakeholders to come and play their part for charity at various drives, including the popular Shoprite Checkers OFM Chip 4 Charity golf days and Boeries 4 Blankets fundraiser.
More than R260 000 was raised during the Chip 4 Charity golf days and close to R280 000 during the Boeries 4 Blankets campaigns.
The OFM team visited Hartswater, Potchefstroom, Bethlehem, Upington and Bloemfontein where we were supported by the local clubs of Round Table Southern Africa - Round Table Hartz 186, Round Table Potchefstroom 47, Bethlehem 60, Upington 79, and Round Table 25 and 158 in Bloemfontein.
According to Round Table president, Louis Radley, these kinds of drives align with the vision of the organisation. “Round Table is a young men’s organisation that develops its own members and serves the community by driving impactful change. Thank you to OFM and the communities who pulled together to support these initiatives.”
OFM Sales and Marketing Manager, Anchen Lintvelt, says these campaigns have once again shown how the OFM community stand together as a family. “From the sponsors, to the partners, to everybody who donated money and supported these initiatives, you made a difference in somebody’s life and that is why OFM will in future continue to drive campaigns like these.”
In turn, OFM Programme Manager Tim Thabethe stresses that the opportunity to serve our region through our audience can never be taken lightly. “To be able to do it in a fun, yet beneficial way speaks to the essence of the OFM brand. The true spirit of Boeries for Blankets lies with the OFM listener, to whom we are eternally grateful for making this initiative a great success!”

Hierdie winter het OFM, die Klank van Jou Lewe, luisteraars, kliënte en belanghebbendes genooi na verskeie geleenthede om hul deel vir liefdadigheid te doen, insluitend die gewilde Shoprite Checkers OFM Chip 4 Charity-gholfdae en Boeries 4 Blankets-fondsinsameling.
Meer as R260 000 is tydens die Chip 4 Charity-gholfdae ingesamel en byna R280 000 tydens die Boeries 4 Blankets-veldtogte.
Die OFM-span het Hartswater, Potchefstroom, Bethlehem, Upington en Bloemfontein besoek waar ons ondersteun is deur die plaaslike klubs van Round Table Suider-Afrika - Hartz 186, Potchefstroom 47, Bethlehem 60, Upington 79 en Bloemfontein 25 en 158.
Volgens Round Table-president, Louis Radley, strook hierdie soort veldtogte met die visie van die organisasie. “Round Table is ’n jongmansorganisasie wat sy lede ontwikkel en die gemeenskap dien deur impakvolle verandering te dryf. Dankie aan OFM en die gemeenskappe wat saamgestaan het om hierdie inisiatiewe te ondersteun.”
OFM Verkoops- en Bemarkingsbestuurder, Anchen Lintvelt, sê hierdie veldtogte het weereens gewys hoe die OFM-gemeenskap as 'n gesin saamstaan. "Van die borge, tot die vennote, tot almal wat geld geskenk het en hierdie inisiatiewe ondersteun het, julle het 'n verskil in iemand se lewe gemaak en daarom sal OFM in die toekoms voortgaan om veldtogte soos hierdie te dryf."
Op sy beurt beklemtoon Tim Thabethe, OFM-programbestuurder, dat die geleentheid om ons streek deur ons gehoor te bedien, nooit ligtelik opgeneem kan word nie. “Om dit op 'n pret, dog voordelige manier te kan doen, spreek tot die hart van die OFM-handelsmerk. Die ware gees van Boeries for Blankets lê by die OFM-luisteraar, aan wie ons ewig dankbaar is dat hulle hierdie inisiatief ’n groot sukses gemaak het!”
