The school that registers the most students will receive a FREE soccer ball…signed by the one and only LUCAS RADEBE from South Africa!! Not only that, but those students will have the opportunity to watch him play in a game at the end of October and meet him as well.

Who knew walking for breast cancer could be so exciting! So grab your school mates together, kids, and register a team today!

Nashua will be sending 1 team, while both SSA and Tambankulu will be sending 2 teams. What a great effort by these 3 companies to support a wonderful cause in Swaziland while having a great day out of the office with each other in nature. Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing all of you at Brave the Breast this Saturday!

Pre-registration is only E75 per adult and E25 per child under 13, and includes a FREE breakfast at the end of the walk. The first 300 participants to pre-register also receive a FREE goodie bag! And of course, all participants are helping to raise money for a vital cause in Swaziland- breast cancer treatment and research.

Registration is also available the morning of the event, from 06:30-07:30. The cost for day-of registration is E100 per adult and E25 per child under 13.

More importantly, having sponsors like yourselves help with event costs means that nearly every Emalangeni of participants’ entry fees becomes a direct donation to breast cancer fundraising. With the help of the Swaziland Breast Cancer Network,  many women’s (and men’s) lives can potentially be saved from this horrible disease.

Note: This list is correct as of 25 Sept. 2011. It will be updated regularly.

In addition to the most important aspect of sending a team from your company or organization- raising money for the Network- there are several ‘extras’ all corporate teams can expect. These include recognition through a ‘Corporate Teams’ posting on both the event website and Facebook page, announcement in a ‘Corporate Teams’ newspaper article, and announcement on the day of the event.

           The earlier your team registers the more recognition your company or organization will receive. We are looking forward to plenty of corporate participation, but plan to make a lot of noise about those teams who register early. Do you want to receive wide spread attention about your team participating? Then don’t delay, register today!

The 1^st Corporate Team to actually register will receive all of the benefits listed above, plus special recognition. This will be in the form of event website and Facebook page postings dedicated specifically to their company or organization, a dedicated newspaper article, and a special announcement on the day of the event.

The 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th Corporate Teams to actually register will receive all of the general benefits plus special recognition as well. This will be in the form of event website and Facebook page postings dedicated specifically to those three teams, a dedicated newspaper article for those three teams, and a special announcement on the day of the event.

A Corporate Team is made up of 10 persons. The donation fee for one team’s entry is E1000. From there, it is an additional E100 per person. If your company or organization has less than 10 people to send to Brave the Breast, yet still wants the extra perks offered only to Corporate Teams, you may register a team provided you offer the E1000 minimum donation. To register your team today, click here.

Special note for any Corporate Team with 50+ participants:

Any company or organization who registers a team with at least 50 participants will be afforded a private, on-site registration at their place of business. They will also receive special recognition on the event website, Facebook page, in the newspaper, and on the day of the event.

This year’s event will be held on the 8th of October, during the International Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With the date a couple months past Sibebe Survivor, it’s a great way for those who participated to keep their fitness level up, as well as a fun challenge for those who are starting fresh. Since there is both a 5km Fun Walk and a 10km Challenge Hike, participants can choose their level of activity. So no fear to those of you already shaking at the sign of a mountain…though we do of course encourage everyone to give it a shot and Brave the Breast!

Walking For Charity On Sibebe

Now in its 11th year, Brave the Breast is the new name under which this annual event will now be run. Organised under the auspices of the Swaziland Breast Cancer Network (SBCN), Brave the Breast aims to reach out to a larger audience and optimise its effectiveness as an awareness and fund-raising event during October’s Breast Cancer Month.
