WITBANK NEWS is rocking it in their slippers
By purchasing a sticker for just R20, you can bring comfort and joy to a child facing a difficult journey. Wear your sticker and slippers on May 30 to redeem a free famous coffee (or hot chocolate for kids under 12) at Wimpy.
WITBANK NEWS is excited to be part of Reach For A Dream’s Slipper Day. When you see the editorial team out and about on stories on May 30, check out those slippers.
South Africans are invited to Do It For The Dreamers by purchasing a R20 sticker, wearing their slippers, and helping to fulfil the dreams of children facing life-threatening illnesses. It’s a simple yet powerful way to bring hope and joy to those who need it most.

For the past 36 years, Reach For A Dream Foundation has been fulfilling dreams for children with illnesses such as cancer, heart conditions, and organ failure to name a few.
Each day, the foundation brings more than six dreams to life, whether it’s meeting their role model, receiving something they’ve always dreamed of, or experiencing the joy of their dream destination for the first time.
These moments offer relief, inspiration, and the courage to keep dreaming.
Since its launch in 2011, Slipper Day has united the nation in support of these children, growing into one of South Africa’s most anticipated fundraising campaigns. This year, we’re doing it for the dreamers, because every sticker sold helps bring joy to a child in need.
“Slipper Day is South Africa’s cosiest fundraiser, and this year, we’re doing it for the dreamers. Something as simple as buying a Slipper Day sticker and wearing slippers, becomes a powerful symbol of hope, comfort, and the belief that every child deserves to dream. Let’s come together and show these children that they are not alone on their journey,” said Julia Sotirianakos, CEO of Reach For A Dream.
Over the years, schools and companies across South Africa have embraced Slipper Day, trading their everyday shoes for slippers in honour of children who spend their days in hospital.
This year, we call on even more schools, businesses, and communities to do it for the dreamers – because every dream fulfilled brings light to a child’s toughest days.
