Get your tope for Sunflower Day
With its new design, the Tope is an affordable, multipurpose article of clothing
A new era has dawned for The Sunflower Fund, bringing with it fresh and exciting new transformations.
Along with the new tagline, “Hope begins with you”, the organisation has given National Bandana Day a complete facelift.
The fund, together with its key sponsor, Pick n Pay, is delighted to announce a brand new campaign, called Sunflower Day, which will be celebrated on the third Friday of September, annually.
The campaign will run from August to the end of September, with the highlight being Sunflower Day, which will take place on September 16.
The organisation’s iconic bandana has also undergone a significant change. The fund unveiled its new commemorative product, known as the Tube of Hope – Tope, a revitalised version of the bandana.
With its new design, the Tope is an affordable, multipurpose article of clothing that can be worn as a headband, mask, scarf, cap or arm-band. Being broadly versatile, it may be used in 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. It also gives wearers the opportunity to show their support for this important cause.
It will be available in children’s size (R20) and adults’ size (R25) and will go on sale at Pick n Pay stores nationwide, Round Table and several other retailers in August.
The Sunflower Fund, a South African non-profit company, is dedicated to creating awareness, educating the public and handling the registration process for people to join the South African Bone Marrow Registry.
The fund pays for the test cost of people joining the registry. 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.
