The Toyota Cheetah players initiated and organised a black tie event where the players and their partners had the opportunity to dress up and enjoy an evening out. To raise awareness for Woman’s Month in August, the players challenged each other to see who could grow the best beard and/or moustache and dubbed the function – SNORGUSTUS. Proceeds from the event are donated to the MENstrual foundation. The MENstruation Foundation is a nonprofit organisation that fights period poverty and gives women dignity.
The following players were honoured for their part in the 2022 Carling Currie Cup season at the event:
