Dreams can’t be locked down

Join Reach for a Dream and Wimpy for Slipper Week from 10 to 16 August.

SLIPPER Day, Reach for a Dream’s largest annual fundraising campaign, was postponed due to lockdown, which meant many children who are suffering from a life-threatening illness are waiting for their dreams to be fulfilled.

However, dreams can’t be locked down, and that’s why Reach for a Dream has partnered with Wimpy to run Slipper Week from 10 to 16 August.

Wimpy has been a proud supporter of the organisation for six years and have set up a portal on their website to help drive donations for little dreamers.

The target is to raise R1.25 million and with the public’s help, they believe this is possible.

All donations from R30 upwards will also be rewarded with a free filter coffee.
