Celebrated annually since 2011, Slipper Day is Reach for a Dream’s longest running campaign to raise funds to make the dreams come true of children who are fighting life-threatening illnesses – whether that wish is to visit their dream location or to meet their favourite sports hero. Postponed last year due to lockdown, Reach for a Dream is determined that dreams can’t be locked down any longer and longstanding retail partner, Pick n Pay, has increased its support this year of the campaign.

In the run-up to Slipper Day, taking place on Friday, 7 May, Pick n Pay will donate R10 from every pair of slippers sold at Pick n Pay clothing stores and supermarkets from 26 April until Slipper Day on 7 May.

Customers can find a wide range of fun and comfortable slippers for children, ladies and men, ranging in price from R99, 99 to R169,99, and can buy their favourite pair either in-store or online at www.pnpclothing.co.za.

In addition, Bottles, Pick n Pay’s on-demand grocery delivery app, will donate R20 to Reach For A Dream for every order placed on the app on 7 May.

Customers can also buy their Slipper Day supporter sticker at any Pick n Pay till point or from the online shop (www.pnp.co.za) for R20.

All proceeds from the Slipper Day stickers go to Reach for a Dream to fulfil the dreams of the little heroes they support.

• PnP has supported Reach for a Dream’s annual Slipper Day campaign, ‘Not All Heroes Wear Capes’, since 2016.
