Support Slipper Day to help children Reach for a Dream

Slipper Day is Reach For A Dream’s most celebrated fund-raiser and takes place on May 7.

‘Not all Heroes Wear Capes’ is the theme of the campaign and is a fitting reminder that all the brave children fighting life-threatening illnesses, doctors, nurses and their families are the true heroes of this time.

Julia Sotirianakos, Reach For A Dream CEO, said this Slipper Day promises to echo the hearts of all our heroes, and that it is important for South Africans to come together and believe in the power of dreams and more so, what this means for a child sick in the hospital.

“In a normal year, Reach For A Dream would fulfil six dreams a day but since the pandemic, this has changed drastically and has forced the foundation to adapt, innovate and respond swiftly to ensure dreams still matter, and that these incredible children and their families know they are thought of,” she said.

“To do the work that we do at Reach For A Dream is so special and it is a daily reminder that more hope and heroes are needed in the world.”

Together with their retail partners Dis-Chem Pharmacies, Pick n Pay and Wimpy, Reach For A Dream is determined that dreams cannot be locked down and would like to encourage everyone to gear up and get ready for Slipper Day by purchasing a supporter sticker for only R20 in stores as well as a new pair of slippers for the occasion by visiting www.slipperday.co.za.

Slipper Day supporter stickers will be available to purchase in-store at all the retail partners from April 7.

For every sticker purchased, you can also enjoy a free Famous Wimpy Coffee on Slipper Day.

Don’t forget to share your Slipper Day selfie on social media to encourage everyone to get involved.

“Get involved today and help Reach For A Dream inspire more hope and make the dreams of children with life-threatening sicknesses come true,” she concluded.
