Did you know, in some way or form, each and every single one of us is affected by childhood cancer?
While it may not affect you directly in some cases – it could be someone close to you – a beloved
family member or the child of a close friend or colleague. But one thing is for certain – we all know of
one brave little child or teenager fighting against it every day.
DATE OF EVENT: 17 February 2023

But they’re never alone – these courageous soldiers will always have the support, love and strength
from those around them, even if it’s through a donation from a stranger who they will never meet.
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa is an advocate for the fight against this life-
threatening illness – offering psychosocial, emotional and patient facing support to families and
children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer.
Made up of passionate, caring, committed and dedicated staff and volunteers, CHOC’s one goal is
simple – to save lives through early detection, and to enable us all to stand up, stand strong and
stand together to support these fearless little warriors.
Our 4 th Annual Flip Flop Day Is Almost Here!
We’re not really about counting the days here – we’re more about making each and every day count.
CHOC is about using HOPE as the medicine for all diseases.
And so, Flip Flop Day and Flippie have stepped up to the forefront to get every South African – young
or old, the corporate or casual, the beach-side dweller or the city slicker – to get up and literally wear
their heart on their soles on Friday the 17 th of February 2023!
He’s told us to pass this message to you, “Rise up and join us! Kick off those shoes and let your toes
be free on Friday, the 17 th of February 2023 by showing your support and love for our warriors by
flipping on a pair of flip flops. Let’s show this life-threatening disease that we South Africans are a
force to be reckoned with.
“I’m ready to show my support! Where can I get my Flip Flop Day sticker?”
As the needs of the children, teenagers and their families increase and our desire to enhance our
augmentation of the medical fraternity treatment continues, we are aiming to raise even more than R2
MILLION last year!
Partnered for greatness, you can get your sticker for only R10 at your nearest PNA, Tekkie Town, or
by visiting www.choc.org.za or popping into your nearest CHOC region.
Hedley Lewis, CHOC CEO, comments “your small donation will make the biggest difference in the
lives of these valiant little ones and their families. With your R10, you are not only helping CHOC
fund their Core Programmes, but you’ll also be giving the gift of hope, solidarity and support to
anyone and everyone fighting against cancer”.
So, are you ready to be flip’n awesome this Flip Flop Day? Ready to flip on your favourite pair of
flip flops and rock out with your toes out?
