Funky Socks Day

The FUNKY SOCKS DAY campaign is hoping you will help make a difference – and encourage your friends and family to join in! Buy a FUNKY SOCKS DAY sticker for just R10 at any PNA store nationwide and you’ll support fund raising for education.

Then, ROCK your FUNKY SOCKS on Friday 8 September 2023 and show your commitment to building a brighter future for children in need. PNA and Breadline Africa are intensifying efforts this year by undertaking the construction of additional infrastructure to complete the Lusemanzi Educare Centre established in 1997 in Orange Farm, Gauteng.

Currently operating out of insufficient classroom space and only two toilets for its’ 200 learners, Lusemanzi urgently requires functional buildings and extra amenities. The estimated cost of constructing the additional infrastructure, including ablutions, amounts to R1.5 million. “This means we must sell just 150,000 stickers to ensure the little ones have a safe, warm facility to learn and grow in,” says Fritz. “Imagine all those FUNKY SOCKS on show at school, university, and work on 8 September?”

Breadline Africa has partnered with PNA for the FUNKY SOCKS DAY initiative for the past two years, says Marion Wagner, Director Breadline Africa. “By purchasing FUNKY SOCKS DAY stickers, South Africans have made valuable contributions to the campaign, funding the building and refurbishment of ECD centers in vulnerable communities.
