Sunflower Day 2022 - United by Hope

Loading player...
Studies have shown that hope is an important therapeutic factor when it comes to healing from and surviving illnesses such as cancer. It is also thought to help patients achieve a better quality of life. For this reason, DKMS Africa and Pick n Pay are uniting South Africans in bringing hope to patients living with blood disorders and blood cancer as part of the annual Sunflower Day fundraising drive, taking place on 16 September 2022.

The annual Sunflower Day is one of the organisation’s most important drives to raise funds and awareness. Through Pick n Pay’s support of the campaign, DKMS Africa is able to maintain a patient support fund to assist those who are unable to afford the costs associated with getting a transplant.
