Come one, come all \u2013 to the grandest Casual Day of all. Join the party parade \u2013 like you\u2019re ten feet tall!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s never too early to start planning your Casual Day campaign. The date is Friday 6 September. Put this in your diaries and start putting together a big outfit. Because the theme for 2013 is Go Big.<\/p>\n

The organisers have announced a that this year they are pulling out all the stops to create a Casual Day that is bigger and better than ever, inviting all companies, government departments, schools and organisations, to join in the fun, because Casual Day puts the fun into fundraising.<\/p>\n

Casual Day is the flagship project of the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities (NCPPDSA), a public benefit organisation mandated to improve education, accessibility and social inclusion for persons with disabilities. Last year Casual Day raised a record amount of R22.2 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we aim to make a big, if not massive, impact with our Go Big campaign \u2013 so whether you wear big hair, big glasses, a big tie, big shoes, or just go big on the number of stickers you wear, anything goes, as long as it\u2019s big. Funds are raised R10 at a time and a tremendous effort goes in, throughout the year, to do fundraising in this way. Not only do the beneficiaries have the immediate benefit of the money they raise, but their donations also help other organisations for person with disabilities all over the country,\u201d says Casual Day project leader Celeste Vinassa.<\/p>\n

Partner organisations and companies who bulk order their stickers, shirts, caps and marketing collateral should consult the Casual Day website www.casualday.co.za \u2013 to see what is in store for them this year. It is time to put in your orders by filling in the forms on the website and making sure the office has your form.<\/p>\n

Casual Day 2013 takes place in continued partnership with its main beneficiaries and 300 participating organisations dedicated to advancing the rights of and rendering services for persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n

So save the date: Friday 6 September.
\nAnd\u2026
\nWear something BIG \u2013 with lots of brocade
\nWear something BIG \u2013 even if it\u2019s handmade
\nAnd the Casual Day hot air balloon will soar and soar
\nIf we go BIG, with a sticker or ten
\nWe\u2019ll support the activities
\nOf persons with disabilities
\nAnd make a really BIG impact
\nIn a really BIG WAY<\/p>\n
