On Friday May 30 you’ll be applauded for wearing your tekkies to work, even with your most formal and impressive business gear. Tekkies? Yes, those things you wear for playing tennis! So what’s the story?
Tekkie Tax is an annual campaign to raise funds for charities in five sectors; Animals, Basic Community Welfare, Children, Disability and Education – carefully selected NGOs that are accountable, reliable and have a history of good service.
To show your support, you can contact CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation for the appropriate stickers, which you’ll get for a donation of just R10, and flaunt them proudly on May 30 to match your tekkies. Wear the big sticker on your lapel and the small one on your cell phone.
You can also become a Tekkie Tax contact person and buy stickers to sell. Get everyone you know involved – your company, your school, your university, everyone in your street, your block of flats or your book club.
To promote the campaign you can also get posters and brochures – absolutely free! If you need permission from your boss, principal or whoever, make sure they participate too! And if you don’t manage to sell all the stickers, at the end of the campaign you can give back the ones you have left.
Great strings attached!
Walk the extra mile and get yourself a pair of funky, designer shoe laces for an additional R20. That’s just R30 for the Tekkie Tax stickers plus laces!
Go on, show the world where your heart lies. Support your favourite welfare organisation through Tekkie Tax on May 30, 2014.
To place your order for stickers and/or shoelaces e-mail CHOC on BDU@choc.org.za
