The Nasrec Show Grounds were abuzz
with activity on Sunday 6 July as over
3000 classic cars – both modern remakes
and sound kitted cars - were exhibited,
much to the delight of both young
and old. The event drew support from
various sectors, including enthusiasts,
a number of car societies and clubs,
families and even charity groups such as
ScoobyNation South Africa.
In 2012 Subaru drivers from the East Rand
and surrounding areas began work on
coming together under the banner of charity,
united by their shared love and appreciation
of the Subaru brand and its vehicles. Two
years later, ScoobyNation managed to
gather over 100 vehicles, including a total
of 49 Subarus, for a Blanket Breakfast Run
for Angels from Above, an NPO (Non-Profit
Organisation) which supports homeless
families and children with food, clothing
and blankets.Speaking to tame TIMES,
Michael Moolman (convener and organiser
of the annual Blanket Breakfast Run) said,“Although it is not always easy to get a large
number of participants, following the blanket
collection we had in 2012 for another charity
(New Beginnings), supporters of the group
were really excited to get involved this
time around.”The group all met on Sunday
morning at the Mc Café in Boksburg and
continued to convoy towards Nasrec, where
they were joined by representatives of the
Angels from Above charity organisation,
who received 337 blankets, two boxes of
food and 12 boxes of clothing.
ScoobyNation was joined by the Honda NC
Riders and the Blood in Blood Out Bikers
Clubs.“I would like to thank all the individuals who
got involved; everyone who came could
have used the morning for any other activity,
but they chose to do something good, for a
good cause,” said Moolman.
As ScoobyNation we also have to
acknowledge and thank the Honda NC
Riders as well as the Blood in Blood Out
Bikers Clubs for joining us and making this
breakfast run a massive success,” he added.
Homes that benefited by this event was Huis Quanessa and Huis Janri
