The Tekkie Tax fundraising campaign is proud to announce that Hilda Lunderstedt will continue to be the ambassador in 2015 Tekkie Tax campaign for the children’s sector of Tekkie Tax. Hilda joined forces with the campaign in 2014 where she served as the business ambassador for the children sector. Hilda is a successful business woman who is responsible for growing South Africa’s most successful pharmaceutical company to a 9-digit annual revenue. After the recent sale of the company Hilda now focus on investments in businesses and philanthropy projects, both in South Africa and internationally.
Annelise de Jager, National Project Organiser said “it is heartwarming to see that prominent business people like Hilda, supports our work. She is skilled in so many ways and regularly travels the world. Yet her heart lies here, with the children of South Africa. And it is here, on local ground, that she is making a difference”
Instead of spoiling loved ones for Valentine’s Day, Hilda showed where her heart lies by celebrating her birthday with the children at Heartbeat in Atteridgeville, Pretoria. The day was filled with laughter, hearts, cupcakes and a jumping castle for the children and at one stage, also Hilda. Hilda had to do her “autograph” on the arms and legs of the hundreds of children and kissed and hugged each and every one of these children so in need for love and attention
Heartbeat’s Head Office is situated in Pretoria, with After School Centers in seven of South Africa’s provinces that focus on capacity building, educational support and sustainability of our youth and assisting in community development. Heartbeat exists to empower orphaned and vulnerable children to reach their full potential through quality service delivery, development and capacity building.
Heartbeat’s beneficiaries receive focused attention and services to allow them to grow into the young leaders that each of the communities is in desperate need of.
Tekkie Tax day is on Friday, 29 May 2015. This is the one day of the year that you can swap your high heels, school shoes or boots for a comfy pair of tekkies. All in support of a good cause.
Choose the sector you want to support:

Hilda said “I will gladly wear my tekkies on Friday 30 May this year and my sticker of choice will for sure be C – Children!” Members of the public are asked to get a Tekkie Tax sticker for a R10 donation from any of the participating welfare organisations. You can also order what you need directly from their website.
Put your best foot forward this May and support the next Tekkie Tax Day on Friday, 29 May 2015.
