The slogan this year is “WeBandana Day!”
Take a stand and
show you care about people with serious blood disorders like leukaemia. Buy and
wear your bandana on October 12 and contribute towards saving a life.
The campaign is
fun, hip and happening and involves Ambassadors of Hope for The Sunflower Fund: Corne Krige with his family, Benito
Vergotine, Nonala Tose and Liezel van der Westhuizen. Featuring in the TV advert together with
South Africans of all ages, they pledge their support and ask that you do too.
The bandana design
is fresh, distinctive and is a trendy fashion accessory. Available in eight
different colours, it appeals to everyone from the young to the young at
heart! Buy the brightly coloured bandanas
from Pick n Pay, Round Table, selected Makro stores and the online shop, Zando.
It’s all about saving lives.
Funds raised
through National Bandana Day go towards paying for the expensive tissue typing
(DNA) tests for new stem cell donors to join the South African Bone Marrow
Registry (SABMR).
Behind the
campaign, stand cancer patients who face a very daunting task of fighting for
their lives and for many; their only hope is to receive a life-saving stem cell
transplant.
