AS some people return to offices, Slipper Day offers the perfect opportunity to bring that work-from-home feeling to the workplace, even if it’s just for one day.

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 owing 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 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.

Customers are encouraged to show their support and share their Slipper Day selfies, wearing their new slippers from Pick n Pay Clothing, and using the hashtag #slipperday2021 on social media. – REPORTER
