Sport a Tope and save a life
National Bandana Day has received a complete facelift, along with the new tagline, "Hope begins with you".

A new era has dawned for The Sunflower Fund, bringing with it fresh and exciting transformations. Along with the new tagline “Hope begins with you”, the organisation has given National Bandana Day a complete facelift. The Sunflower 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 7 to the end of September, with the highlight being Sunflower Day, which will take place on September 16 this year. The organisation’s iconic bandanna has also undergone a significant change. Earlier this month it unveiled its new commemorative product, known as the Tube of Hope – Tope – a revitalised version of the bandanna, reflecting the renewed enthusiasm to increase the number of stem-cell donors in South Africa!
With its unique design, the Tope is an affordable, multipurpose article of clothing that can be worn as a headband, mask, scarf, cap or armband. Being broadly versatile, it can be used in a wide variety of sports or outdoor activities and will be available in six eye-catching colours. It gives wearers the opportunity to show their support for this important cause.
It will be available in a children’s size (R20) and an adults’ size (R25) and will go on sale at Pick n Pay stores nationwide, as well as Round Table and several other retailers, including the online store Zando, in August 2016.
