While retailers count the time from Thanksgiving through the New Year as their busy season, things are just heating up for tax preparers like the "Tax Lady," Roni Lynn Deutch.
To take advantage of the increased traffic, the Roni Deutch Tax Center is partnering with Prevent Child Abuse (PCA) America and its new "Pinwheels for Prevention" campaign to help raise awareness of and funds for healthy child development and child abuse prevention nationwide.
The company said that this is the first time PCA America has incorporated a pinwheel as a symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention.
Until the end of tax season, April 15, all 44 of the Roni Deutch Tax Centers are going to chip in by having paper pinwheels on hand that clients can buy for $1.00 that will go to the cause. The franchises themselves will also be helping out on the local level if they take advantage of the opportunity to make a $20 donation to their Prevent Child Abuse America America (PCA) state chapter for every federal tax return filed.
"My mission throughout my whole career has been to help taxpayers get the most out of their tax returns … while at the same time protecting them from the IRS," said Roni Lynn Deutch, CEO and founder of Roni Deutch Tax Center. "When looking to partner with a national charitable organization, I wanted to continue with that protective mission. Working to prevent children from being abused or neglected is very close to my heart."
At the end of tax season all monies collected by the Roni Deutch Tax Centers will be donated to PCA America, to support its programs, which serve more than 40,000 families annually.
