Rock out with your toes out for Flip Flop Day
Help pave the way with love and support for these amazing kids to see a brighter tomorrow.
Did you know, in some way or form, each and every single one of us is affected by childhood cancer?
While it may not affect you directly in some cases – it could be someone close to you – a beloved family member or the child of a close friend or colleague.
But one thing is for certain, we all know of one brave child or teenager fighting against it every day.
But they’re never alone. These courageous soldiers will always have the support, love and strength from those around them, even if it’s through a donation from a stranger who they will never meet.
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa is an advocate for the fight against this life-threatening illness, offering psychosocial, emotional and patient-facing support to families and children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer.

Made up of passionate, caring, committed and dedicated staff and volunteers, CHOC’s one goal is simple – to save lives through early detection, and to enable us all to stand up, stand strong and stand together to support these fearless little warriors.
• The fourth Annual Flip Flop Day is almost here.
Flip Flop Day and Flippie have stepped up to the forefront to get every South African, young or old, the corporate or casual, the beach-side dweller or the city slicker, to get up and literally wear their heart on their soles on February 17.
Kick off those shoes and let your toes be free by showing your support and love for warriors by flipping on a pair of flip-flops.

As the needs of the children, teenagers and their families increase, CHOC aims to raise even more than R2m last year.
You can get your sticker for only R10 at your nearest PNA, Tekkie Town, or by visiting www.choc.org.za or popping into your nearest CHOC region.
“Your small donation will make the biggest difference in the lives of these valiant little ones and their families.
“With your R10, you are not only helping CHOC fund their core programmes, but you’ll also be giving the gift of hope, solidarity and support to anyone and everyone fighting against cancer,” said Hedley Lewis, CHOC CEO.
