Coffee merchant exceeds holiday fundraising goal
Dutch Bros. Coffee franchisees raised more than $139,000 during their annual Buck-4-Kids event held on Dec. 7, surpassing the total garnered in 2011 by $50,000.
All 190 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in seven states participated in the Buck-4-Kids program by donating drink proceeds to local youth organizations chosen by each owner-operator. Charities included regional Boys and Girls Clubs to local Christmas toy collection programs.
Dutch Bros. was founded in 1992 by Southern Oregon dairy farmer brothers Dane and Travis Boersma. The company began as a single espresso pushcart in Grants Pass, and now includes nearly 200 locations in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona. Annually, Dutch Bros. contributes more than $1 million to nonprofit organizations as a way of making a difference, one cup at a time.
A complete list of recipients from the 2012 Buck-4-Kids fundraiser is available at dutchbros.com/news/2012-buck-4-kids.
