Natasha Bredenkamp, Projekbestuurder van Grootbos: Football Foundation, het rede om trots te voel. Sy was tydens die Burgemeesterstoekenningsaand op 25 Augustus 2015 een van die vele Gansbaaiers wat ‘n toekenning ontvang het. Vir haar onverpoosde werk is sy met ‘n “Sertifikaat vir Uitnemendheid” beloon. Haar intense betrokkenheid by sportprogramme vir kinders het ‘n passie vir haar geword. “As manager of the Grootbos Foundation’s Football Foundation she oversees seven different programmes, Holiday Program, Regular Training Session, Guys Football, School Program, Inclusve Integration Sports Program, Grassroot Soccer and Female Empowerment. Not only sports skills in soccer, netball and athletics are being addressed, but also other important life skills and issues relevant to the children from Gansbaai, Hermanus, Stanford and Zwelihle. Often she will address issues with week-long themes like safety awareness, stranger danger, manners and gender issues. Using sport to engage children by keeping them off the streets and providing educational activities and excursions afterschool and during school and public holidays.” - lui die motivering vir die toekenning van haar sertifikaat. Natasha het sowat 4 jaar gelede (Julie 2011) as Sport-koördineerder by Grootbos Football Foundation begin en is sedert 2013 as Projekbestuurder aangestel. Haar entoesiasme en harde werk word allerweë as ‘n voorbeeld vir vele ander beskou waar dit kom by die opheffing van veral kinders op sport-, kulturele- en lewensvaardigheidsvlakke.
