PokeZone is teaming up with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to fight blood cancer all throughout the month of September.
Mobeen Moslem, one of the owners of PokeZone and member of the LLS organization, is supporting the cause by accepting donations all month-long.
The poke restaurant will also have percentage nights for all LLS members on the following Saturdays: September 15, September 22, September 29. Order the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Poke Burrito, Poke Nachos, or anything on the menu to support the cause. Just tell the cashier you want to donate, and 20 percent of your bill will be donated.
Then once you’ve cleaned your plate and wiped your hands clean, you can put your name on the wall for all to see.
To stay up to date with all of the different ways to donate during September, head over to PokeZone’s Facebook page.
PokeZone is located at 54 W. Congress St. For more information on the menu and hours of operation, visit pokezonetucson.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
