To launch Slipper Day, its biggest annual fundraising day, Reach For A Dream, together with partners Wimpy and Pick n Pay, hosted a launch event at Wimpy Mall of Africa.

A fun-filled morning with breakfast, an enchanted castle and dragon cake, and clowns kept Reach For A Dream children entertained, while members of the media and celebrities such as DJ Sbu, Mark Pilgrim, Natalie du Toit and Ashley Hayden showed their support by attending and participating in the event.

On a serious note, Dr. Cecil Levy spoke about the importance of granting hope to young patients with life-threatening illnesses, and guests were addressed and inspired by the chairman of the foundation, Mervyn Serebro, and South African gold medallist swimmer, Natalie du Toit.BLQ_Slipper Day

The highlight of the morning was listening to young Reach For A Dream survivor, known affectionately as Yoyo, share her story and perform a few songs to express her journey. Through Slipper Day, which takes place on August 5th, the foundation aims to sell 650,000 stickers and raise almost double the funds from last year, which will substantially increase the number of dreams and projects that can be fulfilled in the near future.

Stickers can be purchased directly from Reach For A Dream branches nationally, and from Wimpy and Pick n Pay stores nationwide. So have some fun with your feet and help Reach For A Dream make more dreams come true! And remember to visit Wimpy on August 5th (wearing your sticker and slippers) for a free cup of coffee. #SlipperDay2016
