1st for Women Insurance, via its charitable trust, the 1st for Women Foundation, again supported the group of bikers on their 2015 Bikers for Mandela Day journey.

Throughout the journey, the bikers distributed whistles to the organisations they visited, in support of Blow The Whistle, an anti-rape and women abuse organisation. The bikers participating in the initiative travelled from Johannesburg to Beaufort West, George, Knysna, Graaff Reinet and Bloemfontein.
