3 What is the Charity Challenge? The Charity Challenge is an annual fundraising event participated in by employees and alumni of NMG. For three months of the year, employees across the business run, walk, swim and cycle all in the name of raising miles and money for local South African charities. For each mile completed, NMG will donate 5 ZAR towards our nominated charities. Charity Challenge, 2016 dates: 1 June 31 August 3
