Start your engines – we’re celebrating 30 years of Kaskar in full throttle style. This year, we’re shifting into a new gear as we introduce our food drive theme:
Drive to Survive ๐
Date: 14 August | 12:00 – 22:00
WHY WE RACE?
Going forward, Kaskar won’t just be about speed – it will be about impact. We have become increasingly aware of the thousands of UP students that go hungry throughout the year, especially in difficult times like exams and close to the holidays.
That is why we are taking hands with our strategic partners Life Abundant and Oppistoep congregations to collect as many as possible non-perishable foods to distribute to any hungry students in need.
We’re racing for more than just glory! Your help can make a big difference in fellow students’ lives.
This is a race against hunger! It’s students helping students!
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY:
Fuel up with great food vendors – from homemade pancakes and boerewors rolls to our coffee house serving freshly baked goods and sweet treats. No pit stop needed; we’ve got you covered.
THE RACE:
Residences, Day houses and societies will go wheel-to-wheel in a race against time to see how many laps you can complete before the chequered flag drops. It’s going to be heart pounding stuff.
Our Formula 1 (aka go-kart ๐) track will start in Herold Street and loop around the church. Expect tight corners, fast straights, and zero room for excuses. Will it be your team who stands on top of the podium and lift this year’s trophy?
PAST CHAMPIONS:
This will be the 30th annual Kaskar festival. It has always been a special occasion where different students come together for a night full of fun and excitement.
