A Casual Celebration
Casual Day exceeded all expectations by raising over R17.7
million for persons with disabilities in the 2009 campaign.
This amount was the result of every R10 donation made by South
Africans country wide that wore a Casual Day sticker on 4
September last year.
The amount was made public and celebrated at the Casual Day Show
and Tell functions hosted across South Africa.
The funds will be distributed to the following 6 national
beneficiaries:
• The National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in
SA
• SA Federation for Mental Health
• DPSA
• Deaf Federation of SA (Deafsa)
• Epilepsy SA
• SA National Council for the Blind
“All proceeds will be distributed during the month of February.
These funds will be used to provide additional resources, assist
with daily operations and ongoing maintenance of more than 400
local NGO's affiliated to the 6 National Beneficiaries of the
project. Thank you to all South Africans for your generosity and
support. Your contributions have managed to ease the challenges
faced by individuals living with disabilities,”
This year Casual Day encourages people to “dress for laughs”.
Wear something funny, ravishing or utterly ridiculous. As long
as you wear you Casual Day sticker to show your support for
persons with disabilities.
Do the right thing and make sure that YOU wear your Casual Day
sticker on Friday, 3 September. |
