NATIONAL Tekkie Tax Day will be celebrated on Friday, 26 May. The campaign which has been part of the South African calendar for the last four years, gives people the opportunity to show with their feet where their heart lies.

The campaign started in 2013 when a few of South Africa’s biggest and most accountable welfare organisations joined forces.

There are 12 national beneficiaries and they represent more than 1 000 local non-profit organisations; Epilepsy SA, Meals on WheelsChild Welfare SA, SOS Children’s Villages, CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation), Special Olympics SA, CANSA, Imisebeyelanga Services, VVA, NG Welsyn, Endurocad, SAVF and various local animal welfare organisations.

Stickers cost R10 each and Tekkie Tag shoelaces are available from all Clicks, Toys R Us and Babies R us stores for R35. Orders can also be placed online via the Tekkie Tax website www.tekkietax.co.za.
