South Africa (29 April 2025) –<\/i> It\u2019s that time of year again when you can ditch the painful high heels, kick off the lace-up leather shoes and slip on your best pair of slippers before stepping into your meetings for the day. Yes, that\u2019s right, Slipper Day 2025 is happening, and it\u2019s set to be a life-changing day for children with life-threatening illnesses.<\/p>\n
The annual Reach For A Dream fundraiser returns on 30 May 2025, promising a day filled with warmth, generosity, and fun. Wearing slippers to work or school not only brings comfort to the soles but also a heartwarming comfort to the soul, knowing it\u2019s all in aid of supporting sickly children\u2019s dreams.<\/p>\n
Reach for a Dream invites South Africans to Do It For The Dreamers by purchasing an R20 sticker, wearing their slippers, and helping to fulfil the dreams of children facing life-threatening illnesses. It\u2019s a simple yet powerful way to bring hope and joy to those who need it most.<\/p>\n
For the past 36 years, Reach For A Dream has been fulfilling dreams for children with illnesses such as cancer, heart conditions, and organ failure, to name a few. Each day, Reach For A Dream brings more than six dreams to life, whether it\u2019s meeting their role model (we dare you to watch the advert below and not cry!), receiving something<\/a> they\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n Some of the dreams they have made a reality are truly spectacular and will leave you in tears! It’s a day where they get to kick off their own slippers and be a kid, surrounded by treats, spoils and sometimes, their ultimate heroes.<\/p>\n PS: If you missed Bella’s story about her dream day with Siya and the Boks, you can read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
