4 Sleeps Until You Can Work With Slippers On Your Feets!

Slipper Day falls at the perfect time of year, when keeping our toes toasty is especially important! Plus, we get to do some good while wearing slippers. Only 4 sleeps to go… Are you ready?

South Africa (26 May 2026) – I have 3 pairs of slippers… A uni-slipper, which lives under my desk, my garden slippers and my general house slippers. Slippers are basically part of my uniform, but for many, that isn’t the case, so this Friday, the general public is getting excited to wear their slippers out and about. And I don’t blame them!

This Friday is Slipper Day, a day dedicated to the comfiest footwear and for the best reason! To help raise funds for children facing life-threatening, life-limiting and terminal illnesses. The Reach for a Dream Foundation helps fulfil the dreams and deepest desires of these children. Funds are used to bring seven dreams to life each day.

Dreams are given to children nationwide, ranging from meeting a celebrity hero or flying in a plane to being a vet for a day. This brings moments of hope and joy to children living with illnesses such as organ failure, cancer and heart conditions. In 2025, the Foundation fulfilled a total of 2,510 dreams. You can read some of the incredible dream days we have covered here.

With only 4 sleeps to go until slipper day, we recommend getting your R20 sticker, wearing it and your fancy footwear and showing the world you are making a difference in the lives of children who so deserve to smile.

When you buy a Slipper Day sticker for only R20, you’ll not only be helping to fulfil dreams, but you’ll also unlock exciting rewards on Slipper Day:

• Enjoy a FREE coffee or hot chocolate at Wimpy on Friday, 29 May, when you wear your sticker and slippers.
• Stand a chance to be rewarded with your share of over R2 million in prizes.
• Join thousands of South Africans in showing their support for brave young dreamers across the country.

To take part in Slipper Day 2026, just head to any of the sticker stockists, purchase a sticker for R20 or get a virtual one here and wear your slippers on the 29th of May 2026. You can find stickers at Wimpy, Dis-Chem Pharmacies, Baby City, Crocs, Crazy Store, Toys R Us, Babies R Us and Krispy Kreme stores nationwide.

I got myself 5 stickers, one for each of the slippers I wear at home, and two spare for my loved ones. Are you ready? If you don’t have funky fun slippers, fear not, the Reach for a Dream team have got you covered! You can get all the goodies here.
