Not only are the new tumblers a great collectible for fans, but sales of the cups also help to support a good cause. Starting on Saturday, April 7th, Stripes locations in Texas and Louisiana will be selling two new BPA-free [collectible 'Queen of Tejano' tumblers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-and-peanuts). The Selena Quintanilla cups were created in collaboration with late singer’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, and one features a [colorful watercolor painting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alas-pa-volar) by the New York-based artist Santi Siguenza. The same painting is also the logo for the upcoming Fiesta de La Flor music festival, which celebrates the legacy of the singer. Best of all, a portion of the cup sales will go towards the [Selena Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-selena-sundae), which is a nonprofit organization that helps children in need.
