Newcastle Advertiser supports the Reach For A Dream National Slipper Day campaign
Be a hero and wear your slippers! To take part in Slipper Day all you need is a R10 wristband to wear your favourite slippers all day!
Since 1988, The Reach For A Dream Foundation has brought hope, joy and healing to South African children and their families by offering children a magical moment to regain a childhood that could be lost to an life-threatening illness.
Today, (May 11), people across the country are encouraged to support National Slipper Day, by purchasing a R10 wristband and to wear their favourite slippers all day, to make the dreams of children with life-threatening illnesses come true.
The Newcastle Advertiser is showing their support by wearing their favourite slippers all day!
About the Reach For A Dream Foundation:
“In 30 years, the Reach For A Dream Foundation has brought hope to over 60 000 life-threatened children across South Africa. The Foundation discovered an interesting fact about life-threatening illnesses: a larger percentage of children survive than adults. We believe that one of the reasons for this is, that children simply have not learnt what life-threatening means; they live each day as it is given to them. For children attitude is everything, and they need all the encouragement they can get. Whatever the dream, no matter how big or small, it often gives the child hope and courage to carry on the fight. The fulfilment of these dreams inspires hope and courage in the dreamer and helps them believe that tomorrow is worth fighting for.”
To take part in Slipper Day, all you need to do is purchase a R10 wristband from any Pick n Pay or Wimpy store or Reach For A Dream branch.
Wearing your R10 wristband and slippers will also get you a free coffee from Wimpy for today (May 11).
Be a hero and wear your slippers today!
