Pupkewitz Motors is an official vehicle partner of CAN and provides vehicles to the organisation on an ad hoc basis for various projects annually.
“Team CAN is participating in our old VW Volksie bus, donated by the late Mr and Mrs List through Namibia Breweries, and together with our colourful sponsored P-Series bakkie I am certain we will cheer on the participants very well,” said CAN chief executive Rolf Hansen.

Funds raised during the 2023 event are earmarked for the development of the new palliative care programme by CAN to provide of end-of-life support and care for cancer patients in Namibia.
