12 May is Slipper Day – get your wristband now

Buy a R10 wristband from Wimpy, rock your slippers and help the Reach for a Dream Children.

12 May is Slipper Day in South Africa and it is a special time of year when ordinary South Africans, celebrities and Wimpy join forces to support the incredible work done by Reach for a Dream.

Following the overwhelming success of last year’s initiative, Wimpy outlets are gearing up for this year’s event with the sale of Slipper Day wristbands. R10 buys a Reach for a Dream wristband, which can be redeemed for a Famous Wimpy Coffee on May 12 and the right to rock your slippers all day long in public.

Established in 1988, Reach for a Dream is one of South Africa’s most loved charities. The organisation makes dreams come true for children suffering from serious, often terminal, illnesses.

This year Slipper Day has shifted style gears, with a colourful wristband which was designed by Gert-Johan Coetzee, replacing the traditional Slipper Day sticker. The wristbands are fun to wear and aim to inspire those wearing them. The innovation has added a lot of reach and talkability to the drive.

So, what are you waiting for? Reach for a Dream needs your support, and Slipper Day wristbands are already on sale at your nearest Wimpy.
