 Daily news from the Canaries and the islands' biggest English language newspaper on-line Breast cancer charities Bag a bargain Get down to Eve Tennent’s stalls on Wednesdays in Playa San Juan and Sundays in Alcalá to find great deals for worthy causes.  Wednesdays in Playa San Juan and Sundays in Alcalá First efforts from the stall provided £1,750 for the Nijmegen March and a further €500 and €700 for Tenerife breast cancer organisation, Amate, in January and May 2008 respectively. In October 2008, Eve was able to donate €700 to the southern Walk for Life which was divided between breast cancer projects in Tenerife for the Spanish association against cancer, AECC, and Amate. The following month she passed a further €2,000 to Amate. By March 2009, the stalls had produced another €2,000 for Amate and she then organised a charity dinner at the Potato Club in San Juan where another €405 was raised for the same cause. May 2009 found her once again in the London Moonwalk handing over £1,093. The stall was going great guns and in June she was able to donate €2,000 more to Amate and during last year’s Walk for Life in December, Eve handed over €2,192 to be divided between Amate and the AECC. With the €2,000 she recently passed over to Amate’s Vice President, Carmen Gloria at the stall, she has raised a total of €10,000 for this charity. Eve is ably assisted by Ewan, her husband and some loyal helpers, that during our visit included Sheila and her daughter Kerry, over for a surprise visit to celebrate her mother’s birthday. If you have any surplus items don’t hesitate to take them along. Eve sells clothes in Alcalá and all other items at Playa San Juan. You can see what people’s generosity and Eve and her team’s dedication can achieve. However if there is a lot of surplus stuff, she may ask you to hang on to some of it until she has room to store it. Get along to one of Eve’s stalls to donate, volunteer, join in and to bag a bargain for a good cause. This article appears in the print edition 609 of Island Connections
