You could win an awesome prize for your school and your class might be the lucky recipients of a special surprise from the Spur Foundation.
For the first time, The Sunflower Fund is offering a first prize to the value of R20 000 to the school that shows the greatest Sunflower spirit on Sunflower Day – which takes place on Friday, 16 September. Take photos of your class – or even your whole school – doing something creative with their Topes, upload them to The Sunflower Fund’s Facebook Page – Sunflower Day Schools Competition – Gallery, and get your family and friends ‘liking’ your entries.The winning school will receive a donation of goods of the school’s choice, to the value of R20 000. The second prize is goods to the value of R10 000 and a third prize to the value of R5 000.If a school would like to participate, they need to register online before 16 September at: https://goo.gl/forms/n7YkW02MXO or go to www.sunflowerfund.org.za – Sunflower Day to complete the online entry. Ensure all learners have purchased a Tube of Hope – Tope and are ready to show them off on Sunflower Day; and
take photos and upload them to The Sunflower Fund’s Facebook page.
The greatest number of ‘likes’ along with the decision of a panel of judges, will determine the winners. Points will be awarded for numbers of people participating AND the most innovative use of the Tope.
The Fund’s CEO, Alana James, said: “I am sure you are all wondering what a Tope is! A Tube of Hope – Tope – is an affordable, multipurpose article of clothing that may be worn as a headband, mask, scarf, cap or arm-band. It can be used for a wide variety of sports or outdoor activities and will be available in six eye-catching colours. The Tope offers practical functionality for the entire family and gives wearers the opportunity to show their support for this important cause.”It will be available in a children’s size (R20) and an adults’ size (R25) and will go on sale at Pick n Pay stores nationwide in August 2016.
