Centrum’s Guardian Project recognizes and rewards those individuals or teams that go above and beyond the call of duty. So if you are in the emergency services and you know of a colleague or members of a team from your station that have performed an amazing act of bravery and courage, tell us their story
How does the Centrum Guardian Project work?
The project is split into two phases:
The first phase is aimed at the emergency services personnel themselves. Here they are encouraged to nominate their fellow colleagues for their inspiring acts of bravery.
These nominations are then short-listed and submitted to a judging panel consisting of representatives from the following organisations:
- ER24
- National Committee on Emergency Medical Services (NCEMS)
- National Sea Rescue Institute
- Netcare 911
- Southern African Emergency Services Institute (SAESI)
- SA Red Cross Air Mercy Service
- The Institution of Fire Engineers (SA) (IFE)
- Wyeth Consumer Healthcare
Once the judging process is completed, the five finalists are then showcased on the website and in the media.
Then the second phase begins. Here the general public is invited to vote for their favourite Guardian via SMS or the website. Voters stand the chance of winning their share of shopping vouchers to the value of R15 000. Additionally, Centrum shoppers in 110 selected outlets stand the chance of winning 1 of 50 x R500 shopping vouchers. SMS’s charged at R1,50
Why is Centrum doing this?
Centrum is no ordinary multivitamin. It has 100% of the RDA of vitamins and minerals needed by the body to operate at its best. And no one needs to be in peak physical condition more than the men and women of the EMS.
The Centrum Guardian Project represents a platform for the public to express their gratitude to these amazing individuals. That’s why the Centrum Guardian Project really does help our Guardians live life at 100%.
