05 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The nice thing about Pixar is that all of its movies make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Charity helps people AND makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. With this in mind, Lee Unkrich, Pixar director, is letting you enjoy the indulgence of both, by auctioning off Pixar stuff for Japan aid.

Oh boy. The Nelson Mandela Foundation, which is apparently under some financial stress, is launching a Mandela-themed designer line, dubbed the 46664 Apparel line. Shwe-shwe material and brightly-coloured golf shirts feature prominently, because that’s what Mandela’s about.

Destroy Ed Hardy And Clothe The Homeless
10 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The folks at the Super Top Secret advertising firm are taking any Ed Hardy or Affliction t-shirt you send them and donating the clothing to the homeless. We like to keep our bird/stone ratio pretty solid here at 2ov, so the possibility of lowering the global douchebag quotient and helping out the lower-income brackets appeals.

Oh Hey, Just Unicycling Across The Country, No Big Deal
14 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Unicycling has arguably been around since there have been wheels and chairs. That’s just science. Charity has been around for a pretty long time too. So it’s fitting that these two ancient disciplines would come together in the Counter Balance ‘Freedom Revolution Tour,’ which is raising funds to provide disadvantaged school kids with shoes.

You Shouldn’t Have

Drop what you’re doing, get on your feet and put your hands together: Mark Zuckerberg joined the Giving Pledge movement and is donating most of his wealth to charity. Bravo.

UCT Rugby Naked Calendar
06 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Italian Football side did it for D&G. Helen Mirren et al did it for a local hospital in the movie Calendar Girls. Now, UCT’s MC Marais XV have stripped off for charity and an annual tour. Ladies and Gentlemen (although this one is definitely more for the laydeez), I present the 2011 MC Marais Naked Calendar:

Wanted Dead, Alive Or Not On Twitter
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Kim Kardashian is dead. Not really. I know, I also got excited but the fact is she’s just pretending to be dead to raise money for people affected by Aids in Africa and India, specifically. Today is World AIDS Day. Make a note of that.

19 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
It’s that time of year again – one of the greatest legal ways to piss-off your partner is upon us.

Just Look At The Guns On These Guys
12 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Cape locals Glenn Ward and Dries Millard are about to embark on a road trip of epic proportions – they’ll be undertaking a marathon trek from Saldanha to Cape Town. That’s a distance of 142km. Now I don’t know about you, but the daily trip to the water cooler is a significant achievement for me. Oh yeah, small detail. They’ll be doing it in wheel chairs.

Remember that story we ran yesterday about Bob Skinstad’s foundation ‘Bobs For Good’ following through on Julius Malema’s broken promise? You’ll recall we included an old newspaper article about Malema’s 19-month old promise to the kids and mentioned the fact that the Bobs For Good Foundation had unwittingly made good his lies. We even called […]

‘BOBS FOR GOOD’ FOUNDATION FULFILLS MALEMA’S EMPTY PROMISES

When the news came through that the Bobs for Good Foundation had delivered 282 pairs of shoes to Makanyu Primary school in the rural village of Hampego in Limpopo, I was sure that the school’s name had come up in the press before. So I did a little research and, sure enough, the school HAD […]

I certainly won’t be missing an opportunity to meet the great man and hopefully raise our concerns and get his views on various cycling topics often raised here on 2oceansvibe.
