GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - On Friday, May 12, several local businesses, schools and individuals joined the rest of South Africa in reaching for their slippers to support the Reach For A Dream Slipper Day.

Slipper Day is Reach For A Dream awareness and fund-raising campaign that encourages people to buy a R10 sticker and wear their slippers to school or the office for one day.

Reach For A Dream is one of South Africa’s most respected and widely recognised charities which have, for the past 28 years, been fulfilling the dreams of children, between the ages of three and 18, who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

There are thousands of children whose only dream is to have a childhood without pain.

Reach For A Dream takes the focus off the illness and creates a fun space where the children can flourish and give them the courage to fight their illness.

All funds raised will go towards dream fulfilment.
