Ignition Group and The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation joined forces in 2018, a collaboration that resulted in projects that were both rewarding and fun. Some examples of events that we got behind were the 2019 PeacePlayers Africa Basketball Tournament, the 2019 SA Adaptive Surfing Championships and the Indigo Skate Camp mask handout.

Over 600 youths between the ages of 9 and 35 got the opportunity to participate in the 2019 PeacePlayers Africa Basketball Tournament, the culmination of a programme that gets children from all backgrounds involved in basketball year-round.

32 Ignitioners volunteered their time for the tournament, and we are proud to be associated with a project that does such great work for our communities.

Sport for Good also put its resources behind Made for More, a foundation that focuses on a range of therapies, camps and programmes for disabled individuals. The SA Adaptive Surfing Championships was one of the Made for More events, giving talented athletes the chance to compete against their peers on a national stage.

Our hands-on volunteers hit the beach to help out with setup, catering and assisting the surfers in and out of the water, and all of them said that it was a real privilege to watch the intense competition between these talented athletes in person.

The Covid-19 pandemic was an incredibly difficult time for the world, but particularly for disadvantaged communities, and so we did what we could to keep our communities safe and active. With The Laureus Sport For Good Foundation, Ignition Group visited Indigo Skate Camp to distribute protective masks and educate the community about essential Covid-19 safety measures.

These masks were collected through an internal drive that also educated Ignitioners on the importance of masks, hygiene and social distancing.
