Popular Drink Shop, Swig, Launches Breast Cancer Fundraising Campaign "Save the Cups"
The campaign looks to raise $50K to help women pay for breast cancer treatments
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Swig, the highly popular, and fast-growing drink shop, today announced the launch of its "Save The Cups" campaign with the goal of raising $50,000 during the month of October. The money will go directly to women fighting breast cancer to pay for life-saving procedures, which often cost more than $10,000.
Before starting Swig, founder Nicole Tanner was diagnosed with cystosarcoma phyllodes, a rare, fast-growing form of breast cancer that necessitated surgery. After the cancer was successfully removed, Nicole and her husband faced more than $10,000 in hospital bills, with no insurance and extremely limited finances. It was during that time they learned of a program through the hospital where donors pay the bills of qualified cancer patients. Nicole was fortunate enough to qualify and had her bills paid through this generous program. A year later, Nicole founded Swig, which has seen incredible growth since that time.
"This campaign and Breast Cancer Awareness Month are both very personal to me as a breast cancer survivor," said Nicole Tanner, founder of Swig. "Having personally been through the diagnosis, surgery and recovery stages of breast cancer and also being on the receiving end of others' generosity and kindness, I'm incredibly grateful to be in a position to pay it forward and help others get the life-saving procedures they need, without the added stress of figuring out how to pay for them."
Home of the Dirty Soda, Swig puts a unique twist on soda fountain favorites. The unique menu features a variety of customizable house-made concoctions that put a delicious twist on traditional fountain drinks. Founded in St. George, Utah in 2010, the popular concept has grown to nearly 20 locations in multiple states, becoming thousands of peoples' go-to destination for drinks and sweets.
To participate in the campaign, customers can purchase one of the custom "Save the Cups" drinks -- The Founder and The Fighter -- and $1 of the purchase price will go to the campaign. Additionally, there are stickers and t-shirts for sale with the full amount of the sticker price going to the campaign and $15 of the t-shirt purchase price.
