I received this email from the folks at Elixer Coffee Solutions in Oro Valley and wanted to pass it along. Charlie tells me that they raised $800 last year. Way to go! Happy Thanksgiving. This will be our fourth Thanksgiving at elixer. This year, like last year, elixer will be open Thanksgiving Day, and this year, like last year all of the tips for the month of November will go to the fight against Cancer. In addition to being open 7:00 to 12:00 noon all proceeds for the day will be by donation and with the tips will be offered to the fight against Cancer. We’re not taking the day off because Cancer‘s not taking the day off, Cancer never takes a day off. This season we’ve found some new friends to help us against an enemy that has touched each of us in some way. Fry’s Food and Drug and Gadsden Coffee Roasters will be supporting elixer in our effort against this quiet killer. Each of us is an integral part of a mighty machine that can change anything it puts its mind to. What makes this machine run? It runs on plain old money, and absolute love. We look forward to seeing you Thanksgiving Day from 7:00a.m. to 12:00p.m. elixer coffee solutions is located in the North patio of the Rooney Ranch Fry’s Store (10661 N. Oracle Rd.)
carol & ira garey The cancer benefitting from elixer’s generosity is known as multiple myeloma, an incurable disease that strikes the bone marrow. Upwards of 15,000 people are diagnosed annually in the U.S. The likelihood of a cure increases with new treatments, ongoing research, and medical trials. Our support group here in Tucson applauds Renee and Charlie for their efforts to raise awareness with the comaraderie at elixier and the best coffee in captivity. 0 Reply November 3, 2006
