Get ready to put on your slippers and join Wimpy’s biggest annual fundraiser, Slipper Day, in support of the Reach for a Dream charity.
The initiative is set to take place on Friday, 5 May, and the organisation is counting on South Africans to step up and help fulfil the dreams of youngsters fighting life-threatening illnesses.
Reach for a Dream is dedicated to instilling hope in the lives of children burdened with constant medical visits, extended hospital stays and therapies.

Slipper Day is aimed at all South Africans, regardless of age or industry, including schools, corporations and individuals. The initiative allows everyone to come together to support this worthy cause and help make a difference in the lives of these brave children and their families.
Last year, Reach For a Dream raised over R8.3 million through Slipper Day, and this year, they are aiming to raise R10 million, which will allow them to help 2 000 children with life-threatening illnesses experience the moments of joy that come with having their dreams fulfilled.
Wimpy, a proud partner of this inspiring initiative for close to a decade, encourages all South Africans and corporations to get involved and support Reach for a Dream this Slipper Day.
To support this initiative, all you need to do is purchase a R20 sticker at any Wimpy on the days leading up to 5 May. The sticker is redeemable for a free Wimpy coffee on 5 May, and Wimpy asks that all patrons wear their slippers on the day to create further awareness for the campaign.
Let’s help make a difference in the lives of these children and their families by joining Wimpy’s Slipper Day initiative.
