Bring out the Bling
Casual Day provides the country with the opportunity to show their solidarity with persons with disabilities, at the same time enjoying team building and camaraderie with their fellow participants.
It gives South Africans the opportunity to be creative and have fun while contributing to the betterment of society.
It is community spirit in action. So Bring out the Bling on Friday, September 5.
“The theme is appropriately celebratory,” said project leader Celeste Vinassa.
“We have been dressing casually for the past two decades, but this year is a special occasion.
“We thank all the celebrities who have helped us raise awareness for our project, including every Miss SA for the last 19 years.
“Rolene Strauss, the current Miss SA has also shown her support for Casual Day.
“So our message to you is to rustle up a little razzle dazzle, and dress up in the official colour of the year, dazzle blue.
“Casual Day is all about fantasy and dressing up in things you can find around the house.
“Be creative with glitter, fabric, shiny paper or just wear your sticker and a posh casual attitude!”
Casual Day is South Africa’s most successful fundraising project for persons with disabilities, and the amount raised for last year has climbed to R24.8-million.
Sponsored by The Edcon Group, Casual Day is the flagship project of the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in South Africa (NCPPDSA), which this year celebrates 75 years of service to the community of persons with disabilities.
Stickers are available from Edgars, Jet, JetMart, Boardmans, CNA, Red Square and Legit,Absa outlets, Game and DionWired stores, and Shoprite and Checkers stores.
You can also donate online.
