Buy your Casual Day sticker for Grahamstown

The Grahamstown-based Association for Persons with Physical Disabilities (APD) will be selling Casual Day stickers in the Checkers arcade next Friday, 2 September from 9am to 1pm.

The Grahamstown-based Association for Persons with Physical Disabilities (APD) will be selling Casual Day stickers in the Checkers arcade next Friday, 2 September from 9am to 1pm.

Grocott’s Mail will also be selling the stickers next week on behalf of APD, as will the Rhodes University Alumni Office. 
If you buy your sticker in one of these three ways, then R4 from every sticker stays in Grahamstown to help the association do its work.

A sticker costs R10 and the remaining R6 goes to the National Council for Persons with Disabilities in SA (NCPPDSA). 
Stickers are also available at certain commercial outlets.

After all the money collected has been reconciled, it will be distributed to the provincial APD offices, which then allocate funds according to their provincial formula. 

Port Elizabeth is the closest provincial APD office to Grahamstown.

UpYourGame25Casual Day is South Africa’s foremost fund-raising campaign for persons with disabilities and is the flagship project of the NCPPDSA. 

The campaign invites all fun-loving South Africans to dress differently for a day to raise funds and awareness for persons with disabilities. 

To earn the right to dress up this way, participants make a donation of R10 for the official Casual Day sticker. 

Not only does Casual Day raise funds, it also raises awareness of opportunities for full inclusion of persons with disabilities into the community.

Casual Day is a highlight on the calendar of the national council’s 300 participating NGOs, businesses – big and small, organisations, schools, book clubs, youth groups and South African citizens generally. 

For 22 years the first Friday in September has been reserved for going to work dressed in outfits from the fun to the fantastical.
Why should you participate? 

To be part of a group of thousands of South Africans who demonstrate that small actions can make a huge difference. 
Call it community spirit in action. 

It creates camaraderie in the office and brings light relief to the workplace.

For more information, call Catherine Letcher or Francine Mwepu at 046 622 5359, or Catherine at 073 613 9114.
