Flip Flop Day commemorates International Childhood Cancer Day

You can show your support for children and teenagers living with cancer by participating in Childhood Cancer Foundation of South Africa’s (CHOC’s) second Flip Flop Day campaign on 12 February 2021.  

Flip Flop Day is held annually in commemoration of International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD). It is a global collaborative campaign celebrated on 15 February annually to raise awareness about childhood cancer, and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families.

The first Flip Flop Day raised well over R1,5-million and showed that it truly is possible to make a massive difference in the lives of these families and CHOC is convinced that this year will be even more successful.

Flip flops are most certainly a part of almost all South Africans’ wardrobes. Now CHOC is giving the public the chance to show their hearts by wearing a sole to bring some colour to the streets and highlight the importance of the work that CHOC does, and raise some much-needed funding, to keep our young South African’s and their families supported through the long and challenging journey that they are facing. Have a heart, wear a sole and set your toes free to stand behind CHOC on Friday 12 February 2021.

The campaign will be supported by PNA Stationers and Tekkie Town. The public will be able to pop into any of these stores nationwide, and grab their Flip Flop Day stickers.
