Chattanooga businesses are partnering with the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer to collect supplies through Hatch’s Giving Trees.
Each holiday season participating businesses receive special ornaments to display on the Christmas trees in their locations. Ornaments have information about items the foundation needs, including healthy snacks, gift cards, educational books and toys, cleaning supplies and more.
Customers select an ornament, purchase the item noted and return it to the business by new year’s eve. The Austin Hatcher Foundation then collects the items from each business after the holidays. All supplies support the foundation’s office functions along with the many services and programs provided at no cost to young cancer patients and their family members.
Participating businesses include B’s Sweets, Chattanooga Shoe Company, Colony 13, CycleBar, Delta Zeta at UTC, Five Guys Burgers and Fries (East Tennessee locations), Heaven and Ale Brewing Co. (NorthShore location), K Boutique, Learning Express, Luxe Boutique, MurMaid Mattress (Downtown Chattanooga location), Off the Rack, Plum Nelly, River City Apparel, Shallowford Family Dental Group, Signal Energy, Sophie’s Shoppe, Summit Physical Therapy (Downtown Chattanooga location), The Ice Cream Show and Threads on Signal.
