Coffee for a Cause
Fighting cancer is hard enough without the added pressure of being a small business owner. But when Lynda Larsen was diagnosed with cancer in August, she quickly combined her struggle against cancer with her work as owner, with her husband, Steve, of Cafe Cartago, a specialty coffee distributor based in Denver.
The company’s newest product is Bald Lady Coffee, the proceeds of which will go to organizations that support women financially as they go through cancer treatment.
“Not only does this disease exact an emotional and physical toll from surgery and rehabilitation,” Lynda Larsen said in a news release, “it can also present an enormous financial burden for survivors who are unable to work and/or have inadequate insurance. I have been fortunate to be blessed with a large support network of my husband, family, and friends, but not everybody can say the same.”
The coffee sells for $8.99 per 12 ounce bag and is available in regular, drip grind. Free shipping is included for orders of 6 or more bags.
