HURLEY CLEAN WATER INITIATIVE

Hurley and SSA have declared the contest area a “plastic bottle free zone”.    We urge everyone NOT to buy water in plastic bottles which not only cost approximately R6 per bottle but are a scourge on the beaches of South Africa
Instead we ask that everyone purchases the unique Hurley reusable bottle for R35. Owners of the Hurley bottle will be able to fill the bottle as often as required at the Hurley water filters provided in the contest area at no cost at all.
Funds raised from each bottle purchased will be used to buy water filters for identified disadvantaged areas along the KZN coastline. These filters will be provided by Hurley.  The more support received and the more bottles purchased the more water filters will be provided to these disadvantaged areas.

·         More specific details of this inspiring initiative will be outlined at the Opening Function.
