Hey Do Gooders, it’s time to show up, step out, and have some fun while doing it! By purchasing a R10 Funky Socks Day sticker, you will be directly supporting critical causes, including protecting vulnerable children, supporting young cancer patients, and promoting literacy in rural communities.
South Africa (11 September 2025) – South Africa, it’s time to pull up your funkiest socks and make a real difference!
With just two days left until PNA Funky Socks Day on Friday, 12 September, the campaign has already raised an incredible R1.5 million. But there’s still a big goal on the horizon: raising the final R1 million to reach a life-changing R2.5 million for four remarkable charities: Breadline Africa, CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa, Rally to Read and Matla A Bana.
The challenge is simple and fun!
All it takes is buying a R10 Funky Socks Day sticker at your nearest PNA store or online, slipping on your quirkiest pair of socks, and showing your support by sharing your photos on social media with the hashtags #RockYourFunkySocks and #FunkySocksDay2025.
And if you’re wondering about the significance behind all the sticker hype? Every one sold helps provide vital support, from giving children their very first pencil case and workbook with Breadline Africa, to offering comfort packs for child survivors of abuse, literacy programmes in rural schools, and digital learning for children with cancer.
“This is the moment for South Africa to show up, step out, and have some fun while making a massive impact,” says Marion Wagner, CEO of Breadline Africa.
“Every sock, every sticker, every share counts.”
So, whether you’re at school, at the office, or at home, get those socks out, make them loud, make them proud, and join the nationwide movement to help raise R1 million in two days and prove that small steps can indeed lead to giant leaps of change.
