The supporters will each receive a R20,000 Woolworths gift card and their nominated schools and charities will each benefit from a R20,000 cash donation.

During the campaign, supporters took to Twitter and Facebook to raise awareness of the schools and organisations they support by starting conversations and talking about the programme and their favourite causes using the hashtag #MySchool20.
