Flip Flop Day, hosted by CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa, is an annual initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer and their families. For just R10, participants can purchase a sticker and wear their flip flops with pride on Friday, 14th February 2025. This simple yet powerful gesture sends a message of hope and unity, showing children and teenagers diagnosed with cancer that they are not alone. It’s love in action, compassion in every step.

Flip Flop Day 2025 is calling for “Sole Mates” South Africans ready to step up for this life-changing cause. Whether you’re an individual, a school, a corporate, or a volunteer, this Valentine’s Day is your opportunity to show love and solidarity with children and families facing the toughest battle of their lives. When we come together, our soles are unstoppable. From bustling boardrooms to vibrant classrooms, from the seaside to the city, let’s flip into action and prove that love truly conquers all.

When a child or teenager is diagnosed with cancer, the difficult journey for the entire family begins. For Lebo, a bright 8-year-old who once spent her days running around her schoolyard, the diagnosis of leukemia turned her world upside down.

Get your stickers at Tekkie Town, CHOC Regional Offices, or online at www.choc.org.za.

On Friday, 14th February 2025, wear your flip flops or Ipanema’s, and of course your stickers to show your support. Whether you’re hosting a fundraiser at work, organising a school event, or simply stepping out in your flip flops, your participation makes a world of difference.
