This year's Slipper Day a tremendous success for Reach for a Dream

For over 30 years, Reach For A Dream has helped to give hope to children fighting life-threatening illnesses through the fulfilment of their dreams. Over the years, the foundation has brought hope to over 60,000 children across South Africa and has always ensured that no single dream that’s requested, no matter how big or small, is denied.

“Slipper Day has a special place in Wimpy’s heart and we are incredibly proud to be part of an initiative that helps to fulfil the dreams of children with life threatening illnesses. With our wide footprint across the country, we are able to make sure that Slipper Day wristbands are easily accessible to the public seeing that Reach For A Dream doesn’t have outlets,” says Jacques Cronje, Wimpy marketing executive.

“We also want to thank all South Africans that came out in their numbers and bought a wristband for Slipper Day. Without your support, the donation of R1.43m would have not been possible.”
