Reach For A Dream launched their slipper day initiative at Houghton Estate
Reach For A Dream Ceo Julia Sotirianakos is calling on all South Africans to wear a R20 sticker and their slippers on May 5. Stickers can be purchased from Dis-Chem Baby City, Pick 'n Pay and Wimpy.
Reach For A Dream’s 12th slipper day was launched at Houghton Estate to help children battling life-threatening diseases.
Speaking at Houghton Estate on April 4, the NPO’s CEO, Julia Sotirianakos said the slipper shuffle challenge was created as a fun way for South Africans to show their support for slipper day.
“By stepping up and joining our slipper shuffle challenge, you can inspire hope and make a real difference in these youngsters’ lives.”
The NPO calls on all South Africans to buy a R20 supporter sticker, and wear it together with their slippers on May 5. All proceeds raised from the day go to Reach For A Dream to help children fight a serious disease by making their dreams come true.
The challenge is accompanied by a new hybrid dance track called ‘Step Up’, featuring Bronté Borcherds’ vocals, a singer and past beneficiary.
“Step Up is about believing that your goals and dreams are attainable. That even on your worst days there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
Borcherds was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis at the age of nine and spent most of her childhood in hospital receiving treatment. When she was 16 years old, Reach For A Dream fulfilled her dream by taking her to Sony Studios, where she recorded a song with award-winning artist, Loyiso Balla.
Stickers can be purchased from Wimpy, Pick n Pay, Dis-Chem Pharmacies, ToyZone or Dis-Chem Baby City.
