Let your feet speak for your heart
Tekkie Tax is all about Protecting the Vulnerable, whether it be animals or people.
THE National Tekkie Tax Day has been part of the South African calendar for the last four years and this time around its celebrating it on 26 May. The campaign gives you the opportunity to show with your feet where your heart lies. Choose your sticker for a cause close to your heart, spunk up your tekkies with a funky pair of our Tekkie Tag shoelaces and you are ready for National Tekkie Tax Day!
The campaign started in 2013 when a few of South Africa’s biggest and most accountable welfare organisations joined forces. Marieta Kemp, Director Social Services from the SAVF says:
“The large number of welfare organisations involved helps us to keep the costs structure low and this will ensure that the maximum of donations can be used by us to deliver our services on grass roots level.
Tekkie Tax raised more than R22 million so far and the impact on ground level is remarkable. The Stickers (R10 each) and Tekkie Tag shoelaces (R35) are available from all Clicks, Toys R Us and Babies R us stores. There are also more than 250 participating non-profit organisations selling these items and together they aim to convince every South African to be part of the fun. Orders can also be placed online via the Tekkie Tax website www.tekkietax.co.za. There are 12 National Beneficiaries and they represent more than 1 000 local non-profit organisations.
