Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
There's a gorgeous Christmas tree at The Urban Tea Loft in downtown Chandler, but it's not any ol' decoration. It's all to raise money for breast cancer research, and through the end of the year, the tree in the cafe serves as a reminder to people that the search for a cure lives on.
For $10, donors may put individualized cancer ribbons on the tree, and for $25 or more, donors may e-mail a photo of someone who's been affected by breast cancer, and it will be placed in a clear bulb on the tree.
The money raised goes toward the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, which supports breast cancer research. Urban Tea Loft owner Glynis Legrand has a special investment in the cause--she's a breast cancer survivor herself.
Donations by check may also be made out to "Stampin' Out Breast Cancer" and sent to the Urban Tea Loft, at 11 W. Boston St., Suite 2, Chandler, 85225. For more info, log on to www.urbantealoft.com.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
