'Pink For A Purpose' To Help Create Cancer Patients' Sanctuaries

BELMAR, NJ — A pair of Belmar businesses and a group of volunteers are holding fundraiser Thursday evening to support an Island Heights organization that aims to bring comfort to women fighting breast cancer.

The event, called "Pink for a Purpose," is sponsored by Sweet Tease Tea Room and Café and Lynette’s Healing Touch. It will be raising money for Lin's Linens, a volunteer group that creates “personal healing sanctuaries” in the homes of women undergoing cancer treatment or in recovery.

The event includes refreshments, drinks, live entertainment and chair massages, and will be held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 604 Main Street, the address shared by Sweet Tease Tea Room and Lynette's Healing Touch.

Lin’s Linens mission is to nurture and support women in treatment for cancer by creating a personal healing sanctuary that promotes a positive mind, body, and spirit connection crucial to the healing process.

The group has two women it is looking to create these spaces for who have been battling cancer for a while, Lynette Coppola, a licensed massage therapist and owner of Lynette’s Healing Touch, told the website TapInto.

The rooms are completely made over with lamps, decorations, new bedding and other things to make the room into a sanctuary. The decoration work is done in conjunction with a group called Team Belmar that assists the interior designer.

Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased at Sweet Tease or Lynette’s Healing Touch, 604 Main Street, Belmar. For more information, contact Lynette’s Healing Touch at 732-241-4750 or lynettehealingtouch@gmail.com.
