Silver Hippo Bike Ride 2024 During the 2018 England rugby tour to South Africa, The Silver Hippos accompanied Jason Leonard and some of the England Rugby team on a visit to an Atlas Foundation project in Cape Town. Jason established the Atlas Foundation to "raise kids out of disadvantage through the power of rugby". The Hippos were very admiring of this work and set up this Fund to continue to support the work we saw there, and in other places around the world. Manage Cookie Preferences
