Bare your sole for CHOC’s Flip Flop Day
Now in its second year, the 'sole'ful day is about raising much-needed funds for the NPO where you are encouraged to buy a sticker and wear flip flops.
THE Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC) has urged residents to support its annual event, CHOC Flip Flop Day on Friday, 12 February.
Now in its second year, the ‘sole’ful day is about raising much-needed funds for the NPO where you are encouraged to buy a sticker and wear flip flops.
Taryn Seegers, communication coordinator of CHOC, said the foundation’s first Flip Flop Day raised more than R1.5-million.
“Flip flops are most certainly a part of almost all of our wardrobes, and who isn’t looking for an excuse to wear them? Now we’re giving the public the chance to show us their heart by wearing a sole to bring some colour to the streets and highlight the importance of the work that CHOC does, and raise some much needed funding, to keep our young South Africans and their families supported through the long and challenging journey that they are facing,” she said.
The campaign will be supported by PNA Stationers as well as Tekkie Town.
According to Seegers, the public will be able to pop into any of these stores nationwide and grab their Flip Flop Day sticker.
“It’s simply never been easier to make a difference. With a simple donation of R10, every South African can show their heart by wearing their soles. From classrooms to boardrooms, let us walk in our flip flops for a day to highlight CHOC’s passionate purpose,” she said.
For more information or to purchase your sticker visit www.choc.org.za or pop into your local PNA or Tekkie Town store.
