Tucson: Events: 2009: DecemberTucson Calendar of Events for December 2009
Throughout DecemberSpa One and its Employees Show Support for Victims of Domestic Abuse. Spa One, Tucson’s most affordable spa, has teamed up with the Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse, Southern Arizona’s largest domestic abuse shelter, this fall to raise awareness for the prevention and treatment of domestic violence. The campaign began in November, when Spa One will be hosting diaper drives and accepting monetary donations for Emerge! at all three of its locations. In the month of December, Spa One will donate products and services equal to half the value of its retail product sales made at all three locations. In a show of solidarity with victims of abuse, dozens of employees at all three Spa One’s three Tucson locations have volunteered to give over 150 free facials, manicures, pedicures, and therapeutic massages on December 7th to Emerge! participants. “Our ladies are very much looking forward to the spa day; it is the only pampering of this nature they are likely to receive until they are back on their feet financially,” said Tana Jones, Director of Development at Emerge! “We hope that the services will boost their morale and self confidence as well as their sense of physical well-being.” With locations at Campbell/Skyline, Grant/Wilmot, and Sixth/Campbell, Spa One welcomes the public to join its campaign to prevent domestic violence by stopping in to drop off diapers and make retail purchases in the month of December.
