Wear your flip flops to create awareness for childhood cancer

Get your R10 sticker and wear it on February 14

Childhood Cancer Foundation SA (CHOC) will be launching a brand-new initiative for 2020 called Flip Flop Day, on February 14.

The foundation wants to create a colourful annual event that will knock the country’s socks off, from boardrooms to classrooms, the beaches of Cape Town to the streets of Maboneng, Baardskeerdersbos to Bloemfontein and Hogsback to Houghton.

The organisation is building up an army of supporters for children with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders and their families.

Their aim is to leave no stone unturned in finding supporters who want to set their 10 toes free by purchasing a R10 sticker and flipping on some flops to show their support for this amazing cause.

“Flip flops are basically a South African wardrobe pre-requisite. Everyone wears them and everyone loves them,” says Carl Queiros, CEO of CHOC.

“The journey that children and teenagers with cancer face is in no way light-hearted at all, but creating an annual event like Flip Flop Day that raises money towards childhood cancer awareness is definitely a time to be joyous and needs a fully loaded feel good factor. We hope to see the public come out in full force, in their flip flops, on February 14 to show some love for our young ones.”

The campaign will be supported by PNA Stationers.
