Wear your slippers for a good cause

Monday, June 25th 2012

Reach For A Dream is encouraging all South Africans to “Reach for their Slippers” on Friday the 3rd of August. Wearing your comfiest pair of slippers in public is now socially acceptable! Buy your slipper sticker for R10 and swap your regular work or school shoes for your favourite pair of slippers on the 3rd of August.

Last year Reach For A Dream in KwaZulu Natal, who piloted the campaign, raised R175, 000 to make dreams come true for children suffering from life-threatening illnesses. This year the whole of South Africa will be involved as the foundation takes slipper day national. Each of the seven Reach For A Dream offices across the country will be working with schools, businesses and individuals in their areas to get more people into slippers this year than ever before.

Encourage your work place, children's school or community group to take part and become an ambassador for the campaign. “There are so many children still dreaming and we want to make sure we reach as many as possible to make their dreams a reality” says Genevieve Cross, Marketing Coordinator for the Western Cape. To order your stickers or for more info contact 021 555 3013 or email . Stickers will also be available from Miladys stores countrywide from the 1st of July.
