Durban SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge is proud to have The Open Door Crisis Care Centre as their official race charity for this year.

 
With SPAR’s strong stand on ending Gender Based Violence, it is fitting that donations from the 2023 Durban SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge goes towards making a difference for people who have suffered at the hands of others. SPAR will donate R5 of each entry to The Open Door Crisis Care Centre.
 
The Open Door Crisis Care Centre is a non-profit interdenominational outreach organisation based in Pinetown, established in 1997 by Thora Mansfield at the request of the local South African Police Services. Their centre is a holistic, multifaceted one-stop crisis and trauma centre offering counselling, social services and support groups.
 
Mansfield and her phenomenal team define success by making a difference in the lives of people or families who have experienced a traumatic event. They offer counselling, psychosocial services, and support to men, women, and children who are experiencing individual, family, work or school-related problems, loss, grief and bereavement, drug and alcohol abuse, behavioural and domestic-related problems. The Open Door Crisis Centre runs regular awareness programmes and give educational talks to various communities and schools on human trafficking, domestic violence, child abuse, teenage pregnancy and drugs, bullying and teen pregnancy.
 
The Open Door Crisis Centre relies on donations to continue their life changing and important work, and SPAR KZN is honoured to be making a contribution to support this invaluable charity.
 
Entries cost between R150 and R200 and include a race T-shirt, Goodie bag and each finisher will receive a race medal after their run.
