Dress up your tekkies to help CANSA save lives

One of the ways you can help the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) to continue to effectively educate communities about cancer, lowering personal risk and accessing affordable cancer screening, is to ‘pay’ your Tekkie Tax.

CANSA invites everyone to brighten up their shoes or tekkies on May 27 and support this easy and enjoyable fund-raiser.

#LowerCancerRisk #EarlyDetection

According to Anita Snyders, CANSA’s national sustainability manager, we’re ‘Better Together’ because with your help CANSA’s reach can be so much wider, and more people educated regarding the impact of cancer.

“Funds raised go towards our health programmes educating communities about the importance of cancer screening and lowering cancer risk. Education is key to detect cancer early and improve treatment outcomes.”

Snyders said participating is easy because all you have to do, is to order the ‘Better Together Tekkie Tax’ sticker at R10 from the nearest CANSA Care Centre.

“Make your tekkies proud and lace them up with a set of the uniquely branded Tekkie Tax shoelaces for R35 and get a ‘Better Together Tekkie Tax’ sticker included.

“Make sure you are ready to celebrate Tekkie Tax with CANSA and show that you care about educating to save lives. And please share your participation on your social media platforms using the hashtag #TekkieTax #CANSAeducation,” Synders concluded.

Tekkie Tax orders can be placed at your local CANSA Care Centre or forms may be requested from Anita Snyders, asnyders@cansa.org.za.
