The ultimate and real reason for the Whale
Rally (for Ulysses Garden Route)
is the donation of the profits from the rally to public charities.
Unfortunately, most of you never see this happening. To experience something
like this makes it all worthwhile - it's not possible to explain the feeling and
emotion involved in doing this. To see the gratitude and know that the gratitude
is genuine, is just AWESOME.
Our guidelines are simple, charities need to be
within our chapter's boundaries, charities need to be registered NGO's, charities
should not be receiving government funding and finally our preferance is to
provide goods needed as opposed to giving hard cash.
We feel that you should know who they are and
what they do, as all you wonderful bikers who were at the rally over the years
have a stake in this.

The
ACVV's main aim is to create a home environment where caregiving of high
quality can be enjoyed, in a safe & affordable way, with the
residents' welfare as highest priority.
These
two homes take in elderly from all races, who are weakened & need
caregiving. There are 80 residents who receive 24 hour caregiving, which
include meals, daily washing of bedding & clothing.
The Governing body consists out of 9 volunteers who are involved with
the functioning of the homes and the extra fundraising to supplement the
subsidy shortfall.
On
29th
October 2011, the Ulysses Garden Route Chapter donated goods with a
combined value of R10,000 to both Ons Huis and Kenanie from the proceeds
of the 2011 Whale Rally, to assist them with
their plight.
