You still have a few days to snag some of this beautiful jewelry in support of our mission!

During the month of August, Re-imagined Jewelry is supporting the mission of ACS CAN by donating 95% of all jewelry sales directly to us. You can find their jewelry inside of Cafe Quetzal in Topeka (2111 SW Belle Ave.) Each piece of jewelry is a unique work of art made from recycled materials. They're incredibly lightweight, affordable, and make great gifts! What a fun way to treat yourself or a loved one while supporting our mission to help reduce the cancer burden through public policy. Make sure to stop by Cafe Quetzal before the end of August and snag yourself one of these special pieces of jewelry!
