If you have been part of the 2017 Tekkie Tax Campaign, I again want to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
We raised a beautiful R8 239 625 with the help of 264 NGOs, 661 companies and our phenomenal media partners. It has been an amazing year of collaboration, synergy, enthusiasm, hard work and most of all, fun! Thank you for being part of my universe. You definitely added value to my life through your involvement in the Campaign.
All the monies you helped us to raise were distributed to the beneficiary NGOs. 2017 has been a back-breaker for many people, companies and NGOs. I cannot help but take a moment to think about those companies and NGOs that had to close their doors due to challenging circumstances. All of us suffered loss in some way … for some it was loss to death and for others loss of life. The problem with loss is not really the letting-go part … it is the learning-to-live-without part. That is the real challenge.
And now we are going to do it all over again. Tekkie Tax 2018 has gone all international and 25 May 2018 will be known as International Tekkie Tax Day! Whoop-whoop! It is going to be all about leaving a little sparkle! We are going to super-size Tekkie Tax 2018.
Make sure you get our beautiful T-shirts and Tekkie Tax shoelaces early in January. They are all blingy. Magic! Get the word out there … wear your sparkle … spread the love … and change a life forever.
The Tekkie Tax office will be closed from 15 December and re-opens on 8 January 2018. The girls need a rest. Greater things are yet to come!
But for now … I am going on leave and before I do, I would love to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, filled with wonder, magic, love, laughter and peace. May you have a great time with family and friends. Take care of yourself and each other.
Ciao from me and my Tekkies.
