Going Casual at Coca-Cola Park!

As Casual Day's partner for many years, Absa has opened up a number of promotional opportunities for exposure of our project.  On Saturday, 27 August we were fortunate enough to gain access to the field at Coca Cola Park where our mascot, Able and a few dedicated fans from the Casual Day office created awareness.  Here we see Leonie, Averill and Liana, along with Able getting the crowd in the spirit of Casual Day.  Able and the Lion mascot are now firm friends!
