Tears marketing manager, Wendy Scheepers says, “The Tears Sleepathon is one of our favourite and most important fundraising events of the year. In addition to its role as a critical revenue generator for the organisation, it has a massive positive impact on the animals in our care. We like to believe that our ‘Sleepathoners’ also enjoy the experience as much as our shelter animals do, and we’ve been fortunate in the past to facilitate some adoptions as a direct result of the Sleepathon.”

Tickets, available via the Tears Online Shop, cost R230 per person, with 105 tickets available per evening. “Snoozers” will be required to check-in at the shelter at 5pm. The Sleepathon is officially over at 7am the next morning.
