TEMPE, Ariz. – October 1, 2020 – (Newswire.com)
Vessl, Inc., owners of the Vessl™ technology and the ready-to-drink tea brand Tea of a Kind, announced today that the company is joining forces with the American Cancer Society in its Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) Campaign. On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, thousands of local breast cancer survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and corporate and community members are uniting to make the greatest impact to save lives and ensure no one faces breast cancer alone at the (MSACB) “Strides Ride.” The Strides Ride is a drive-through event with stops throughout the greater Phoenix area. This non-competitive, inspirational event raises awareness and funds for a world without breast cancer.
In a show of support, Vessl™ will donate five percent of all Tea of a Kind™ sales through the month of October to the (MSABC) Phoenix Chapter of the American Cancer Society.
“As a breast cancer survivor, I couldn’t be more thrilled with the collaboration between Tea of a Kind™ and the American Cancer Society. Not only do I believe in the cause, I’ve lived it, and know that, together, we will make an enormous positive impact on the lives of others,” commented Cynthia Kotsay-Apodaca, wife of Walter Apodaca, founder of Vessl. Vessl is a Tempe-based company dedicated to eliminating the disposable bottle paradigm and redefining eCommerce. “Vessl is happy to participate and help this great cause. Service to communities and sustainable solutions are two of our values,” stated Walter Apodaca.
Vessl™ ambassadors including NFL great Marshawn Lynch and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Miguel will help to promote the MSABC Campaign through social media to their audiences.
“As a stage 4 cancer survivor of 14 years, I am always thinking about what I put in my body. The collaboration between the American Cancer Society and Tea of a Kind™ is the perfect fit because not only is the tea delicious, but the ingredients are 100% natural and do not contain any artificial sweeteners or preservatives,” commented Lena Spotleson, Senior Community Development Manager – Strides Mega Events, American Cancer Society.
