International Tekkie Tax Day is around the corner, to be celebrated on Friday May 29.
Maria Scholtz, CANSA’s Head of Sustainability says, “After the Covid-19 national lockdown, this will be a way that everyone can help. By supporting Tekkie Tax, however, you can take action and order now.
“CANSA relies on funds raised to enable us to continue educating communities about the importance of cancer screening and lowering cancer risk. We believe that early detection is key, in order to diagnose cancer in its initial stages for a better treatment outcome.”
