In a heartwarming move to mark the upcoming October, Ari’s Cancer Foundation (NPO 116-353) is proud to announce the launch of its latest initiative—the “Sock It to Cancer” campaign! This inspiring month-long campaign aims to make a profound impact on the lives of children and young adults affected by cancer.
Established in 2012, Ari’s Cancer Foundation was founded as a tribute to Ariana (Ari), a remarkable young woman who, sadly, lost her battle with cancer at the tender age of 24. Today, the foundation is steered by a dedicated team of 10 voluntary committee members, all fueled by a burning commitment to supporting individuals facing the challenges of cancer.
Let’s Sock it to Cancer
Participation in the “Sock It to Cancer” campaign is as easy as it is impactful. All you need to do is purchase a pair of the specially designed socks created for this campaign. Every cent of the proceeds from these sock sales will go directly towards Ari’s Cancer Foundation’s vital community outreach programmes that include financially supporting young patients in need and running health education and awareness workshops with youth.
But here’s where the magic happens—your contribution doesn’t stop there. For every pair of socks purchased, the foundation will also donate a pair of school socks to a student in need. Schools benefiting from this initiative include St. Theresa Primary in Cape Town, Suurbraak Primary, and Mullersrus Primary in the Buffeljagsrivier area.
Where to Find Your Socks
Ari’s Cancer Foundation understands that convenience matters, which is why we’ve organized a series of community pop-up events throughout October. Here, you can easily purchase your special pair of Ari’s socks. Keep an eye on the foundation’s social media feeds for specific event details, including locations and dates. You can also call us or send a Whatsapp message to 071 192 1868 to place your order.
Join the Fight Against Cancer
As October approaches, Ari’s Cancer Foundation extends an open invitation to everyone to stand together in the fight against cancer. Every contribution, regardless of its size, brings hope and comfort to our young cancer patients and their families. By participating in the “Sock It to Cancer” campaign, you’re not only honouring Ari’s memory but also spreading love, compassion, and the unshakable belief that we can make a genuine difference in the lives of those who need it the most.
