ONE of the easiest ways you can help the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) spread cancer awareness, is to pay your Tekkie Tax and brighten up your shoes this August.
Tekkie Tax is a national fundraising campaign for more than 250 local welfare organisations.
The organisation supports five sectors: A for Animals, B for Bring Hope, C for Children, D for Disability and E for Education.
