Reach for a Dream calls for public to get behind its Virtual Slipper Week

CEO Julia Sotirianakos says the campaign will run until 16 August and people can buy slippers on the organisation's website.

Reach for a Dream is calling on members of the public to support its Virtual Slipper Week after having to postpone its annual Slipper Day fundraising campaign.

You can donate an amount of R10 or more via a special website portal set up in collaboration with Wimpy. All donations from R30 upwards will be rewarded with a free filter coffee.

You can also purchase a pair of slippers on the organisation's website.
