First National Bank will again team up with uShaka Marine World for the annual FNB Dolphin Dash to be held on Saturday, April 16.
The event, hosted at the uShaka Marine World’s Sea World, is aimed at raising funds for the Sea World Rescue Unit which rescues, treats, shelters and then releases stranded or injured animals back into the wild.
In the picture: Melissa Allison, Donnagh Roberts and Tyra Nielsen from the cast of the Buccaneers sequel performing at the Phantom Ship, Upper Deck at uShaka Marine World until May 8th, will add some glamour to the Dolphin Dash!
“FNB has a proud legacy of getting involved in nature conservation and this initiative falls squarely within the perimeters of that commitment. The partnership between the bank and uShaka Marine World on this Dolphin Dash further provides us with the platform to make a difference towards preserving nature’s highly endangered species,” says Sabatha Mbalekwa, FNB CEO of Provincial and Local Government.
The big race kicks off at 9am when a pod of toy dolphins head out into a half a kilometre stretch of the Lazy Duzi, bobbing to the finish line cheered on by a host of celebrity performers from the cast of the Buccaneers and Charon Ross Williams Entertainment Agency.
Entrance free is R100 and that gets you a toy dolphin and the chance to make a difference to the oceans. A R15 000 prize is up for grabs, together with free entry into uShaka Marine World’s Sea World and Wet n Wild on the day.
The winner will be announced between 12 noon and 1pm. Find out how to take part and purchase your own toy dolphin by contacting Theresa Harker at uShaka Marine World on 031 328 8000.
