This August, STBB celebrates a momentous milestone: 125 years of exceptional legal service. Since opening for business in a small Cape Town office in 1900, we\u2019ve endeavoured to create a lasting and meaningful impact through our various corporate social initiatives.<\/p>\n

This year, in honour of our 125th<\/sup> anniversary, we\u2019re hosting a special Trail Run in partnership with Miles for Smiles at the lush Muratie Wine Estate on Sunday, 21st<\/sup> September 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to fund 125 life-changing cleft lip and palate surgeries for children in need \u2013 representing one surgery for every year of service!<\/p>\n

Since 2017, we\u2019ve collaborated with Miles for Smiles to support Operation Smile South Africa \u2013 a non-profit organisation that provides free corrective surgery to children born with cleft lip and\/or palate conditions. Together, we\u2019ve funded more than 400 life-altering surgeries. At a cost of approximately R5 500.00 each, these surgeries remarkably improve a child\u2019s ability to speak, eat, and smile.<\/p>\n

Set amongst exquisite vineyards on what promises to be a crisp spring morning, our 125th<\/sup> Anniversary Trail Run offers participants more than an exhilarating outdoor experience: Every entry contributes to indelibly changing a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Entries are now open!<\/p>\n

To register for the Trail Run, visit this link<\/a> and secure your spot today!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not a trail runner? Not a problem. You are welcome to walk or jog \u2013 we just want you there!<\/p>\n

Interested in sponsoring a child\u2019s life-changing surgery? Donate any amount you\u2019re comfortable with. Every contribution counts! To contribute or learn more, visit our website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
