New tanktop dons important message
Some people may wear their heart on their sleeve, but there are many people who prefer to propagate their feelings on their chest.
For this weekend only – Saturday, May 6, and Sunday, May 7 – Sara Benjamin’s will be participating in a national campaign organized by Liveawear, a non-profit group dedicated to preventing partner abuse.
Sara Benjamin’s is a clothing store located at 6810 Wooster Pike and owner Lori Tanzer said she will be selling tank-tops that say, “Not a wifebeater.” A percentage of the proceeds will go to the national effort to prevent abuse.
“Liveawear ... is dedicated to inspiring activism and building awareness to prevent partner abuse. Liveawear was created to transform attitudes, increase public awareness, and inspire positive messages. Have the courage to speak up and inspire change,” the organization’s Web site, www.liveawear.org, states. Liveawear's initiatives will bring into sharp focus societal attitudes that promote violence and encourage changes in the way we view domestic violence, with the goal of working toward eliminating it.”
Tanzer also said 20 percent of the store’s overall sales on May 6 and May 7 will go to a local organization to assist victims of spouse abuse.
For more information, call the store at 272-2280.
