CHOC Receives Best NGO Accolade

CHOC receives accolade of “Best NGO” – CSI Legacy Awards held on the 2nd of March 2023

The CSI Legacy Awards 2023, is a prestigious event that celebrates corporate social investment, in recognising the contributions of industry leaders towards creating a better society.

This event was attended by prominent figures in government (the Honourable Deputy Minister for Social Development, Ms Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu), business (Heads of Investec, Standard Bank, Oceana Group), Academia (Head of Wits Business School, Professor Maurice Radebe), and civil society. The awards were given to those who went above and beyond to make a difference in their communities through corporate social investment initiatives.

Awards were presented across several categories, including Best Social Entrepreneur, Best Corporate, Best NGO, Best Rising NGO, and Best CEO.

Hedley Lewis, CHOC CEO, said,

“This award that I had the privilege to receive on behalf of CHOC is a testimony to the incredible CHOC staff, volunteers, Board and Exco; as well as the medical fraternity and our donors that stand by our side to reach for the stars”.

I would like to thank each of you for voting for CHOC and believing in the work that we do. I must say though, even if we were not to be chosen as the winner, being recognised alone should have been a huge achievement; especially knowing that we are doing the best we were called to do for the children and teens with cancer and life-threatening blood disorders and their families.
