Support Sunflower Day

A Tope is an appealing, trendy and multi-purpose accessory product which can be worn as a headband, mask, scarf, cap or arm band.

The Sunflower Fund urges all South Africans to get involved and make a difference.

The action is simple – purchase a Tope (tube of hope) and celebrate Sunflower Day on September 15.

Funds raised will offer the hope of life to patients with leukaemia and other blood disorders who are in need of a life-saving blood stem cell transplant.

A Tope is an appealing, trendy and multi-purpose accessory product which can be worn as a headband, mask, scarf, cap or arm band.

Topes will be available at Pick n Pay stores across the country or online at Zando during August and September for R25 each.

The theme of this year’s campaign is ‘It’s ordinary people who do the most extraordinary things that make a real difference’.

The Sunflower Fund is a non-profit company dedicated to creating awareness, educating the public and handling the registration process for people to join the South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR).

The Sunflower Fund pays for the test cost of people joining the SABMR.

This is fundamental to saving the lives of thousands of South Africans each year.

The chance of finding a matching donor is one in 100 000 – and as ethnic origin plays a significant role in the search for a donor, South Africa’s rainbow nation is at a distinct disadvantage, requiring a large pool of prospective donors.

Should you wish to become a donor, support one of the fund-raising projects or make a financial contribution, contact The Sunflower Fund on 0800 12 10 82 (toll-free).
