The KFC South Africa Supply Chain team recently hosted a "Spin-a-thon" fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for its Add Hope initiative, a program designed to provide opportunities to give back in partnership with KFC, according to a company press release.

The team approached family, friends and suppliers to sponsor them for every "km traveled" or to donate a lump sum. Virgin Active, the local community gym, donated their facilities to support the event where KFC employees challenged other functions to join them spinning on stationary bikes to Add Hope for their Community, the release stated. More than 30 participants biked for more than five hours, resulting in 4,800 kilometers or nearly 3,000 miles distance.

The KFC South Africa team announced it raised over $3,000 during the event, the release stated. The funds will be donated to a local charity during the month of September.
