Apart from the obvious wine tourism benefits the Java’s main goal is to provide a platform to raise funds for our local community.
In the last 4 years over R 380 000 were raised for our beneficiaries. The 2016 Beneficiaries are Robertson Primary School, Robertson Preparatory School, Wakkerstroom-Wes Rural School, Goudmyn Rural School and Herberg Children’s Home.
It is a mutually beneficial partership as the teachers and parents makes up 80% of the work force at the event, responsible for layout and marking of route, registration, marshalling, manning the food stalls and water points etc.
