LET'S UNITE IN OUR MOTORING PRIDE​
idle DRIVE 2 UNITE
{ABOUT}
SA's ANNUAL CUSTOM CAR, BIKE, 4x4 RUN FOR CHARITY IS BACK!
Do you own a Show car, Supercar, Muscle car, Classic car, Modified 4x4 or Motorcycle (whether it’s a superbike, bobber, chopper, or something unique)? Or are you part of a car club? Then we want you to be part of something special!
Join us for the Drive 2 Unite Grand Parade — a spectacular convoy AROUND THE CITY of Johannesburg on the National highway, ending at our destination: Montecasino in Fourways.
As a bonus, all vehicles that joined for the run will be proudly showcased at the Montecasino Events Area until 2pm for free public viewing — a celebration of motoring excellence open to all!
Curated by the idle Events team, Drive 2 Unite is more than just a drive. It’s a movement to raise awareness and support for Blessing Lives, an NPO focused on ending period poverty among schoolgirls in underprivileged communities.
There’s NO Entrance Fee to join the run. All we ask is that each vehicle owner completes the registration (form below) and brings a donation of at least three packs of sanitary pads — easily purchased at any retailer — to support the cause.

ABOUT THE OUTREACH​
PERIOD POVERTY
The Outreach is the brain child of 17year old ambassador, Tiamara Andrew. It is a charity initiative run by Blessing Lives NPO 295-038, which is a section 18A - approved organisation with PBO 930080855 status.
"South Africa is currently facing a critical issue of menstrual hygiene. Many young women and girls cannot access or afford sanitary pads, which has led to absenteeism from school, and even health issues. I am grateful to have the support of our partner, the Department of Education to identify schools from Alexandra Township whom desperately need our support. This year our target is to provide 6000 girls with a one[1] year supply of sanitary pads. Through our vehicle run which creates awareness and donations we aim to meet or exceed this amount hence I encourage you to come out in your numbers and support this great initiative", says Tiamara Andrew
