BRIGHT Buttons Pre-School in Hillcrest raised R1 092 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa during its combined Flip Flop Day and Valentine’s Day celebrations.
The school’s principal, Ingrid Green saw the call to action in the previous week’s edition of the Highway Mail (week ending 12 February) and wanted to help raise funds for the CHOC Foundation.
“We asked the children to wear flip flops with their Valentine’s Day outfit and bring a donation towards CHOC. The teachers also participated. Thank you for making us aware of this event whereby giving us an opportunity to give back to those in need,” said Green.
Proudly taking part in the CHOC fundraiser are Blake and Scarlette Sharp, donning their bright flip flops.
