This weekend the Bulls and Stormers will be hosted in Soweto for the big all-SA Super 14 final. What a momentous occasion for sport and social cohesion in South Africa.

Inspired by a comment from Clint on Sport24.com I started looking for a meaningful way in which the rugby public can show some gratitude when visiting Orlando on Saturday. Clint wrote about his experience at the semi-final: "I was greeted by so many people especially one lady about 60 yrs old saying welcome to our home we love you, enjoy your visit. This brought a huge lump to my throat as clearly she was much less fortunate than i and yet had those words to say to me. I would love to be able to set in motion some sort of token of gratitude and I am sure thousands of other bulls supporters like me feel the same. If this message is repeated throughout the week I am sure it will result in a huge outpouring of bulls generosity."

Enter Melanie Minnaar (Twitter: @MelanieMinnaar) and the Twitter Blanket Drive (#TBD). 

Melanie sourced a specific and worthy charity to support via the rugby drive. The D Hani Creche & Feeding Scheme in Doornkop (around Orlando Stadium) is run by a community leader whose work not only benefits the creche but also the greater Doornkop informal settlement. 

June is month of the child and all donations collected at the rugby would be handed out to the community of Doornkop. The aim being at least a blanket for every child in the creche.

Apparently the Stormers have already given their support to promoting and enabling this cause.
