Bend, Ore. – On December 5, Dutch Bros. Coffee and customers banded together to raise $226,278 for children on the company’s annual Buck for Kids Day.
Dutch Bros. of Central Oregon donated a “buck” for every drink sold to support CASA of Central Oregon, and raised a total of $4,703.
“We rocked it,” said Dutch Bros. Co-Founder Travis Boersma. “Anytime we can work with our customers to invest in the amazing organizations in our communities that provide support and opportunities for children, we are truly blessed.”
To raise funds, all 233 locations donated proceeds from that day to children’s causes selected by local owner-operators. Organizations supported ranged from regional Boys & Girls Clubs to Christmas toy collection programs.
“We’re thrilled to be the recipient of this year’s Bucks-for-Kids program. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Central Oregon will use the funds raised to recruit, train and support community volunteers who become the voice for children in foster care in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties,” said Executive Director Pam Fortier.
“We want to see all children have love and encouragement to grow and learn,” said Travis. “Thank you to everyone who came out to support these organizations and children.”
Dutch Bros. Coffee supports many organizations through three company-wide give back days each year.
