‘Follow Your Heart and leave a little sparkle’
It is almost time for International Tekkie Tax Day and charities and individuals alike are gearing up to put their best tekkie forward.
It has been the talk of the town on the South African calendar for the past four years and this year Tekkie Tax day will be celebrated tomorrow (Friday).
The campaign gives you the opportunity this year to “leave a little sparkle” and show everyone else where your heart lies.
It is as easy as 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 and it’s not too late to get involved.
1. Choose your sticker for a cause close to your heart – animals, bring hope, children, disability or education.
2. Sparkle up your Tekkies with the funky shoelaces which are sold to raise money for the causes above, and
3. You are ready for International Tekkie Tax Day!
Tekkie Tax is SAs funkiest, trendiest, most innovative and successful national fund-raising campaign for welfare organisations.
The campaign started in 2013 when a few of South Africa’s biggest and most accountable welfare organisations joined forces.
Since its inception, they have already raised a whopping R30-million for participating NGOs.
There are 11 national beneficiaries and they represent more than a 1 000 local non-profit organisations.
They are Epilepsy SA, Child Welfare SA, SOS Children’s Villages, Special Olympics SA, Cansa, Imisebeyelanga Services, VVA, NG Welfare, SAVF and RoleModels Foundation.
The stickers are available at a cost of R10 and shoelaces cost R35 and are available at all ToysRUs/BabiesRUs and Clicks stores nationwide.
You can also get your gear from Springs and KwaThema Child Welfare at their offices at 3 12th Street, Springs.
They will also be at the Springs Mall so be sure to pick up your gear while shopping.
There are also more than 280 participating non-profit organisations selling these items and together they aim to convince every South African to be part of the fun.
