Several years ago, a member of our team was diagnosed with breast cancer and leaned heavily on the Ellie Fund for resources as she went through treatment. We remain grateful for her continued presence here at J.P. Licks and decided it was time to partner with the Ellie Fund as a small business. We met with members of their team last spring, looking for unique ways to help rais money and awareness for the organization, something that reflected the energy of J.P. Licks. After several conversations, we designed our first sticker available for purchase - an udder shape promoting the Ellie Fund and their work in our bright pink hue. You can already see the udder on our website - and on cows around our stores - but the double meaning of the image also appealed to us. We ordered a limited run and hope that you'll come into one of our 17 locations to purchase one. All proceeds will be donated to the Ellie Fund to support their work.

If you are being treated for breast cancer and live in Massachusetts, you are eligible to apply for assistance from the Ellie Fund. The provide financial and emotional support so you can concentrate on healing. Visit their website to apply or to support them directly. www.elliefund.org
