Schools enticed to sport ‘topes’ to win
Tube of Hope or TOPE to show your support for The Sunflower Fund on Sunflower Day.
CRACK open your piggy-bank and prepare to head to Pick n Pay in August to ensure you have your very own Tube of Hope or TOPE to show your support for The Sunflower Fund on Sunflower Day.
You could win an awesome prize for your school and your class might be the lucky recipients of a special surprise from the Spur Foundation.
“For the first time ever, The Sunflower Fund is offering a first prize to the value of R20,000 to the school that shows the greatest sunflower spirit on Sunflower Day – which takes place on Friday, 16 September. Take photos of your class – or even your whole school – doing something creative with their Topes, upload them to The Sunflower Fund’s Facebook page, under the Sunflower Day schools competition gallery, and get your family and friends to ‘like’ your entries,” said the Fund’s CEO, Alana James. She added that the winning school would receive a donation of goods of the school’s choice, to the value of R20,000. The second prize is goods to the value of R10,000 and a third prize valued at R5,000.
She explained that if a school would like to participate, all they need do is:
1. Register online before 16 September at https://goo.gl/forms/n7YkW02MXO or go to www.sunflowerfund.org.za – Sunflower Day to complete the online entry;
2. Ensure that all pupils have purchased a Tube of Hope or Tope and are ready to show them off on Sunflower Day; and
3. Take photos and upload them to The Sunflower Fund’s Facebook page.
The greatest number of ‘likes’, along with the decision of a panel of judges, will determine the winners. Points will be awarded for numbers of people participating and the most innovative use of the Tope.
“I am sure you are all wondering what a Tope is,” James added. “A Tube of Hope – Tope is an affordable, multi-purpose article of clothing that may be worn as a headband, mask, scarf, cap or armband. It can be used for a wide variety of sports or outdoor activities and will be available in six eye-catching colours. The Tope offers practical functionality for the entire family and gives wearers the opportunity to show their support for this important cause.
“It will be available in a children’s size (R20 including VAT) and an adult’s size (R25 including VAT) and will go on sale at Pick n Pay stores nationwide in August 2016.”
