Get ready to put your best foot forward! PNA, Breadline Africa and Sock Doctor are excited to announce Funky Socks Day 2024—a fun and meaningful way to support Early Childhood Development (ECD) in under-resourced communities across South Africa. We’re inviting schools, businesses, and individuals to wear their most colourful, crazy, and creative socks in support of a great cause.
What is Funky Socks day all about?
By supporting Funky Socks Day, you support Early Childhood Development in South Africa. Over the last four years the Funky Socks campaign has helped build 6 ECD centres in under-resourced communities across the country. This year, we aim to equip 50 ECD centres with educational resources valued at R25,000 each. You can participate by purchasing a Funky Socks Day sticker for R10 at your local PNA store and wearing your funkiest socks on Friday, 13 September 2024, to support the cause. Every cent raised through this campaign will go directly to Breadline Africa, who will use the funds to procure the educational items listed by various ECD principals.
In addition to raising funds, we have partnered with Sock Doctor, who will generously give selected stores 250 pairs of school socks. These socks will be donated to local schools or children’s charities.
Join the Funky Socks Day movement!
Rock your Funky Socks for Brighter Classrooms! Purchase a sticker for R10 from your nearest PNA store and wear your funky socks on 13 September 2024.
Raise R1 Million: Our goal is to raise R1 million from sticker sales to equip 50 ECD centres with educational essentials.
We invite and encourage our customers, schools, and corporate partners to join our school supply mission, in partnership with Breadline Africa, and make a difference in the lives of many young children, giving them a chance for a better start to their education.
