In slippers for a day

POLOKWANE – There is nothing more comfortable and warm this time of the year than your slippers, and on Friday, August 7, South Africans can wear their slippers to work, school and even shopping.

Slipper Day is a partnership between the non-governmental organisation, Reach For Your Slippers and Wimpy to encourage South Africans to show support for children living with life threatening illnesses by buying Slipper Day stickers for R10 at a local Wimpy.

Wear your sticker and slippers to Wimpy on the day and this will guarantee you a free cup of Wimpy’s regular coffee.

“Last year, stickers sold through Wimpy outlets resulted in just over R1,1 million in funds for Reach For A Dream, and this year, we would like to sell even more stickers to our loyal customers to further aid this non-profit organisation,” says Karabo Morudu, the Wimpy brand manager.

“At Wimpy, we are all about families, and aiding in making seriously ill children’s dreams come true is a privilege for us as a group.”

Reach For A Dream has been around for 27 years and has dedicated itself to making dreams come true. No dream is too small or too big and ranges from children wanting to see the ocean for the first time, taking a drive in a Ferrari, a flight in a helicopter, becoming a doctor for the day or even visiting Disney World.

“All funds and proceeds raised through the Slipper Day campaign will help put a smile on the faces of the foundation’s ‘Dream Children'”, says Bronwyn Feldwick-Davis from Reach For A Dream.

“Reach For A Dream prides itself on the countless children who have benefitted through the generous support of companies such as Wimpy.”

Buy your sticker from a Wimpy near you from July 1 to August 7 and wear your slippers proudly.
