The Reach for a Dream Foundation asks residents to partake in Slipper Day this August.
Over the past 26 years the Foundation has been fulfilling the dreams of children fighting life-threatening illnesses. Their work enables children to experience fun aspects of life, which they don’t often get to participate in because of their illnesses.
On Friday 1 August the annual Slipper Day will be held. This campaign was developed by the Hardy Boys Ad Agency to help create awareness and raise funds for the Foundation. The annual initiative encourages communities to wear their slippers to work or school for the day to show support for these children.
Residents can partake by purchasing a R10 Slipper Day sticker at their nearest Wimpy outlet and wearing their slippers. The Foundation also encourages residents to take a selfie while buying a Slipper Day sticker to raise awareness on social media. Those who take a selfie stand the chance to win a grand prize of air tickets for two people to a city of their choice anywhere in South Africa as well as two nights’ accommodation. A rental vehicle also will be provided for the weekend.
