5/16/2013 - **Download hi-res photo of MDA Day 2013**

Grants Pass, Ore. (May 16, 2013) — Dutch Bros. Coffee and the communities it serves banded together on May 3 to “Drink One for Dane,” raising a record-breaking $271,579 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in honor of late company co-founder Dane Boersma.
 
Surpassing last year’s donation total by nearly $100K, the amount will be distributed to local MDA chapters where Dutch Bros. Coffee stands are located. Dutch Bros. Coffee has donated $896,581 to MDA since becoming involved in 2007.
 
“The Muscular Dystrophy Association is extremely grateful to Dutch Bros. and all their customers who came out to ‘Drink One for Dane’ and for the thousands of families living with ALS,” says MDA Executive Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer Kevin Moran. “Dutch Bros. Coffee’s partnership with MDA has helped provide invaluable local services for those living with ALS and has had a tremendous impact on research to find treatments and, eventually, a cure for ALS.”
 
Travis Boersma, surviving company co-founder and brother to Dane, says, “I’m touched that, every year, our customers bring even more support and love for an organization that means so much to me and affected families everywhere.”
 
All 198 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in seven states donated proceeds that day, and kindhearted customers overwhelmed donation jars.
 
Dane was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and passed away in late 2009. His memory continues to inspire everyone within the company to give their all and love people every day.
 
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is the world leader in fighting Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a disease that affects the parts of the nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement.  There is no cure for ALS, and most people with ALS die within three to five years.

Dutch Bros. Coffee’s MDA Day is always held the first Friday in May to kick off ALS Awareness Month. Next year’s event will take place on May 2, 2014.

Water for Logan: Dutch Bros. Coffee Donating $1 From Every Water to Eagle Point Man With Cancer

5/15/2013 - **Download hi-res photo of Logan Rock**

Medford, Ore. (May 15, 2013) – For an entire week, May 20 through May 26, all 19 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in Jackson County will donate $1 from every water sold to help pay for medical expenses for Logan Rock, a 26-year-old Eagle Point High School alum who recently learned he has testicular cancer.
 
Logan, older brother to Dutch Bros. barista Erica Rock, learned about the cancer about six weeks ago after going to the doctor for a lump. Doctors found a tumor on his testicle and tumors in his stomach and lungs.
 
“I wish I could take it, and I can’t,” says Erica. “He’s trying to stay strong, just focusing on the day-to-day tasks and not the long run he’s going to have.” Logan has already had one surgery and faces another surgery and two months of chemotherapy.
 
Funds raised will go toward helping Logan pay for medical expenses, which are only about 60% covered by insurance. They will also aid with general living expenses that Logan will need help with during the six months he can’t work his job as a manager at the Eagle Point Ray’s Food Place.
 
“This way he won’t have to worry about finances and can just focus on getting better,” says Erica. “When my manager told me Dutch Bros. is doing this, I broke down crying. It meant so much.”
 
Erica says her customers who know about Logan’s battle are offering amazing support as well. “I’ve had a few that have added him to prayer lists at their churches and some have dropped off money. It’s completely shocked me and brought me to tears.”

“Logan is a good person who deserves this so much,” says Erica. He’s really strong; if anyone can do it, he can.”

Released on Apr. 4, the report found that friendly and knowledgeable staff continues to be the most important factor in pleasing customers.

“Our customers are the best, man, and so are our bro-istas,” says company co-founder Travis Boersma. “They rip and they rock, and it’s all about the people.”

Other factors in customer satisfaction include merchandise, cost, facility and promotions.

“Dutch Bros. Coffee is exceptional at creating an experience that resonates with their high-intensity customer base, which results in their very high loyalty and satisfaction ranking,” said Sally Lombardo, director of research operations at J.D. Power and Associates.

Meridian, Idaho - Dutch Bros. Coffee Raising Funds and Awareness for Autism

Meridian, Idaho (Mar. 27, 2013) — On Apr. 2, “Light It Up Blue” World Autism Awareness Day, all 12 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in the Treasure Valley will donate $1 from every drink sold to the Autism Speaks organization.

“Light It Up Blue Day” involves supporters from across the globe displaying blue decorations, lights and clothing to help kick off Autism Awareness Month.

Meridian Dutch Bros. Owner Jeff Yarnall says, “Carter, the son of our employee Kayla McNitt, has autism. April isAutism Awareness Month, and we want to get our stands involved.”

All other Treasure Valley Dutch Bros. locations, locally owned and operated in Boise/Garden City, Caldwell/Nampa and Ontario, Ore., wanted to show their support, as well.

Carter, now 4 ½ years old, was diagnosed with autism about two years ago. Kayla says the disability presents many challenges, but there is hope:

“There’s more help than you know. Find people close to you who understand what you’re going through. Find a support group. Know it’s nothing that you did and that dwelling on the bad parts is only going to make it worse. Cherish the smiles when you get them and look forward to the days when your kid is going to talk and tell you that he loves you and give you a hug on his own without being told. And then, it’s all worth it.”

When Carter was diagnosed, Kayla used Autism Speaks Web resources to find local therapy, classes and support groups in The Valley. Today, Carter still doesn’t speak, but, after just one year of therapy, he now freely gives hugs and affection that he didn’t show previously.

All Treasure Valley locations will donate all day, from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. There will also be jars available for customer donations.

“It’s amazing,” says Kayla. “There’s not much going on in The Valley for autism awareness, and it just makes me feel good that there are people behind those of us affected by it.”

Kayla advises that there are many Treasure Valley families affected by autism, which is the fastest growing but most underfunded developmental disability in the U.S. One in 88 children is diagnosed, with a higher prevalence of diagnoses among boys.

Wenatchee, Wash. (Mar. 11, 2013) – Friday, Mar. 15, from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., Wenatchee and East Wenatchee Dutch Bros. Coffee locations will donate all proceeds from “mac mochas” and “mac hot chocolates,” named for their macadamia flavoring, to helping offset medical costs for 12-year-old Mac VanLith. Mac was diagnosed with bone cancer in December 2012 after doctors discovered a tumor wrapped around his spinal cord. Mac now faces six to nine months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments at Children’s Hospital in Seattle.

“Medical bills are pressing,” says Dutch Bros. Wenatchee owner Jimmy Crocker. “We want to ease them and let the family know that there’s a lot of support and love for them and for Mac.”

The proceeds day coordinates with another Mar. 15 fundraiser for Mac, Mac Attack. Mac Attack, sponsored by the Chelan County Regional Justice Center, will be at Tex’s Backyard Grill from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will involve a number of fun attractions for donations to Mac’s treatment.

On Mar. 4, Mac’s family received the good news that the tumor is no longer visible on the PET scan, but Mac still has a long journey of chemo and radiation ahead to treat the cancer and needs your support.

Please come out on Friday and ask for a “mac mocha” or “mac hot chocolate” to help support Mac and his family in their battle.

Boise, Idaho - Dutch Bros. Coffee Donating All Proceeds To Leukemia Treatment for 9-Year-Old Avre

Boise, Idaho (Feb. 27, 2013) – On Friday, Mar. 8, Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in Boise and Garden City will donate all proceeds toward helping nine-year-old Avrey Walker’s family cover the cost of an experimental, potentially life-saving leukemia treatment.

Niece to Boise Dutch Bros. owners Libby and Brian Wight, Avrey is suffering her third bout with the deadly disease.
After seeing Avrey go through five hard years of chemotherapy, parents Aaron and Christal Walker decided to try this experimental treatment that has only been tried on five other patients previously.

However, because the procedure is still in phase one clinical trials, insurance will not cover it, and it will cost the family approximately $300K.

“You just want your kid to survive,” says dad Aaron. “This treatment is the biggest medical break-through in cancer history right now,” he says, with hope, also advising that several patients who received this treatment were cured.

“The desperation of my brother’s family was so apparent, I felt compelled to do what I could to help out,” says Libby, who wants the event to generate both financial and moral support. “The community surrounding the family builds hope and helps them make it through, because every day is a struggle.”

At the end of January 2013, Avrey underwent the first stage of the procedure in Philadelphia. Doctors collected Avrey’s own T cells and will reengineer them by infecting them with a disabled HIV virus that can’t cause disease anymore but will reprogram the immune system to attack leukemia cells. To learn more about the procedure, visit http://vimeo.com/54668275.

Dad Aaron says the family just found out last week that Avrey has been approved for the second phase of the treatment, which will take place at the end of March.

Avrey was first diagnosed with leukemia in 2007, at just four years old.

“Avrey’s been fighting this over half her life, and we’re ready to have her healthy — that’s for sure,” says Aaron.

If you can’t make it by a Dutch Bros. on the 8th, you can also support the Walker family in a number of other ways:

Redmond, Ore. (Feb. 27, 2013) – On Friday, Mar. 8, Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in Redmond will donate all proceeds toward helping nine-year-old Avrey Walker’s family cover the cost of an experimental, potentially life-saving leukemia treatment.

A Redmond local and niece to Boise Dutch Bros. owners Libby and Brian Wight, Avrey is suffering her third bout with the deadly disease.

Central Oregon Dutch Bros. owners Bill and Carol Smith wanted to help this little girl who is not only part of their Central Oregon community, but also part of their Dutch Bros. Coffee family.

“We've known the Walkers through the most recent years of this battle, and, after hearing about the recent relapse, we were heartbroken for them and knew we had to help out,” says Dutch Bros. Central Oregon Marketing Director Kaelyn Costa, who met the Walkers about four years ago when she was managing one of the Redmond stands.

After seeing Avrey go through five hard years of chemotherapy, parents Aaron and Christal Walker decided to try this experimental treatment that has only been tried on five other patients previously.

However, because the procedure is still in phase one clinical trials, insurance will not cover it, and it will cost the family approximately $300K.

Klamath Falls, Ore. - Water for Juan: Dutch Bros. Coffee Donating $1 From Every Water Sold To Surger

2/26/2013 - PHOTO: Seven-year-old Juan Pantoja

Klamath Falls, Ore. (Feb. 26, 2013) – Starting Feb. 25 and continuing through the end of March, Dutch Bros. Coffee of Klamath Falls is donating $1 from every water sold to help the Pantoja family pay for a much-needed surgery for their seven-year-old boy Juanito.

In addition to suffering from grand mal epilepsy, cerebral palsy and hyperechoic liver disease, Juanito has rare intestinal issues that caused a recent rupture and require surgery by pediatric specialists in Ohio.

Parents Michaella and Juan are doing everything they can to raise money to cover expenses, which include airfare, a traveling nurse, food, lodging and the cost of missing work while they’re in Ohio for the six- to eight-week recovery time.

Juan’s intestines are unable to process food, so his entire life he has been fed through a G-tube and J-tube, and he takes 24 pills each day. The family’s out-of-pocket medical costs are $300 to $600 per month, his formula costs about $1K per month, and they have three other children they are caring for.

Please come to any Klamath Falls location all this week and the entire month of March to drink water for Juan and help a local family in need.

So far, in just two days, Klamath Falls Dutch Bros. have sold over 1,000 bottles of water for Juan, resulting in $1K for the family.

Auburn, Calif. (Jan. 14, 2013) – On Friday, Jan. 18, the Auburn Dutch Bros. Coffee location will donate all proceeds toward helping beloved regular customer Tami Cooke cover medical expenses from a long battle with kidney and lung cancers.

Friday, Jan. 18, 2013
5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
3995 Grass Valley Hwy., Auburn
ALL PROCEEDS DONATED

“Tami’s a very strong woman and an encouragement to us all,” says local owner-operator Jeremy Mauel. “She’s been a regular for three years now, and all of us have made a real connection with her.”

Doctors diagnosed Tami with kidney cancer in May 2011 and removed the cancerous area as part of her treatment. Then, in June 2012, Tami learned that the cancer had reappeared in her left lung.

She underwent radiation and partial removal of the left lung, only to learn soon after that another cancerous module had been discovered on her right lung.

“With the cancer reemerging, it has been very rough for her and her family, and we just want to encourage them through this and help them out,” says Jeremy.

Tami’s husband Sean has also been a regular since the stand first opened in 2009. Now, Dutch Bros. is his stop on the way to many doctor and hospital visits. 

Jeremy and his crew ask that you come out on Friday and support the cause with your daily cup. They will also have jars available for additional customer donations.

Tami and Sean have five children, one grandchild and another grandchild on the way.

Beaverton, Ore. - Dutch Bros. Coffee Donating 30% of Sales to Beaverton Man's Bone Marrow Transplant

12/10/2012 - ** Download Photo of Luis Lopez **

Beaverton, Ore. (Dec. 10, 2012) – On Monday, Dec. 17, your daily cup of joe can help save a life.

All that day, from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., the Beaverton Dutch Bros. Coffee stand at 8940 SW Hall Blvd. will donate 30% of gross sales to help beloved regular customer and Beaverton resident Luis Lopez raise money to pay for a much-needed bone marrow transplant.

Luis was diagnosed with leukemia about one year ago, and, where other methods of treatment have failed, a costly bone marrow transplant may save his life.

“When Luis got sick about a year ago, we were really concerned,” say local owner-operators Tina Thompson and Mike Gonzales. “He’s been coming to our stand since we opened four years ago, and we’ve always joked that we’re family. They’re good people who work really hard, and we want to help.”

Without health insurance, the transplant will cost about $500K, not including the hospital stay or post-operative care.

Please come out on Dec. 17 and support a local family in need. We will also have jars available for additional donations to the cause.

Donations may also be made to the “Luis Lopez Bone Marrow Fundraiser” at any U.S. Bank.

Dutch Bros. Coffee Recognized for Community Giving by Oregon Bankers Association

12/07/2012 - Grants Pass, Ore. (Dec. 7, 2012) — On Monday, Dec. 3, the Oregon Bankers Association recognized Dutch Bros. Coffee with its annual “Community Applause Award,” which acknowledges outstanding community service and philanthropy.

PremierWest Bank nominated Dutch Bros. Coffee, which, with approximately 500 full-time employees based in Oregon and SW Washington, took top honors in the “50 or more” category.

PremierWest Executive Vice President Ken Wells said, “It’s hard to imagine an Oregon business more deserving of this award…Community support is not only part of Dutch Bros.’ mission; it’s ingrained in their DNA.”

Dutch Bros. Coffee is the country’s largest, privately held drive-thru coffee company, with nearly 200 locations in seven states. The company donates over $1 million a year to nonprofit organizations and local causes.

12/03/2012 - Grants Pass, Ore. (Dec. 3, 2012) —On Friday, Dec. 7, all 190 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in seven states will donate drink proceeds to youth programs selected by local owner-operators.

It’s Dutch Bros. Coffee’s annual Buck-4-Kids Day, which last year resulted in $93K raised for community youth organizations.

Because Dutch Bros. stands are locally owned and operated, owners choose the local organizations dear to their hearts that will benefit from funds raised. Organizations range from regional Boys & Girls Clubs to Christmas toy collection programs.

Dutch Bros. Coffee Co-Founder Travis Boersma, a father of four himself, says, “We love kids. Their enthusiasm for life is contagious, and we want to help them enjoy their lives without worry, whether it be through coats, toys, school supplies or programs that help them grow and learn.”

Dutch Bros. Coffee donates over $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations and causes, in an effort to achieve its goal of “making a difference, one cup at a time.”

About Dutch Bros. Coffee

Founded in Southern Oregon in 1992 by dairy farmer brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, Dutch Bros. Coffee is the country’s largest privately held, drive-thru coffee company.

Having started from humble beginnings, as a single espresso pushcart in the small town of Grants Pass, Ore., the company now has nearly 200 locations in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona. 

Dutch Bros. Coffee serves specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, freezes, teas and its private-label Dutch Bros. Blue Rebel(TM) energy drink that customers can infuse with their favorite flavors.

Every cup of Dutch Bros. coffee is handcrafted — roasted by hand in the Pacific Northwest, blended by hand and then ground and pulled by hand, ristretto-style.

Dutch Bros. Coffee was ranked by J.D. Power and Associates as highest in customer satisfaction compared to other coffee companies in its 2012 Specialty Coffee Retailer Satisfaction Report(SM). 

Dutch Bros. Coffee franchises are locally owned and operated, so owners have a personal investment in the communities they serve and contribute to various local causes and organizations.

Dutch Bros. Coffee has always focused more on people than the bottom line, with a desire to transform lives rather than conduct transactions. In 2011, the company donated more than $1 million to nonprofit organizations, including local food banks, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Cancer Society and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Dutch Bros. Coffee is headquartered in Grants Pass, Ore. To learn more about Dutch Bros., visit www.dutchbros.com, www.facebook.com/dutchbros or

Vancouver, Wash. (Nov. 16, 2012) — On Tuesday, Nov. 20, Vancouver Dutch Bros. stands will be donating 50% of proceeds to aid the family of Tyler Burton, a 21-year-old Vancouver native who is still in critical condition after an Oct. 29 assault caused him to hit his head on concrete in Chico, Calif.

All three locations in Vancouver are participating:
• 5700 NE 4th Plain Blvd., 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 2610 NE 138th Ave., 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• 10417 SE Mill Plain Blvd., 24 hours

Dutch Bros. baristas who know and care for Tyler asked Vancouver owners to join the cause. 

“I see how this has affected a couple of our employees who are close to Tyler, and I wanted to help,” says Kenny Stromer, owner of two locations west of Highway 205.
Jessica Chudek, owner of the location east of 205, says “We just want to do what we can to make things a little easier on his family in this hard time.”

Dutch Bros. barista Sabrina Mendez knows Tyler and encourages the community to come support a very caring individual:

“Tyler has always been one of the sweetest, most welcoming, open and uplifting guys that not only I, but many others, have ever met. For something like this to happen to someone so great is tragic.”

Tyler graduated from Mountain View High School in 2010.

Friends of Tyler are also selling t-shirts, pictured above, to help pay for medical bills.

Corvallis, Ore. - Fight for Matt: $1 From Every Drink to Help Student Diagnosed With Leukemia

Corvallis, Ore. (Nov. 7, 2012) — On Saturday, Nov. 10, you can help in the fight against cancer in a very simple, local way.

All that day, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., the Dutch Bros. coffeehouse at the Oregon State University campus will be donating $1 from every drink sold to help Matt Fettig, an OSU junior who had to put his studies on hold when he learned in August that he has leukemia.

Matt's fraternity brother Ashton Smith works for Dutch Bros. Corvallis and asked owner Bob Lengwin to join the cause. Bob says, "It was something he felt very strongly about, and I wanted to help out."

Ashton says, "We want to raise money to donate to Matt's family, because they have a lot of medical bills and three kids in college."

Matt's brothers by birth, Blair and Eric, also attend OSU and are part of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity that is spearheading fundraising efforts for Matt.

Phi Delta Theta chooses a philanthropic project every term. "We decided to do one for Matt, because he's our brother," says Ashton. "I could tell it meant a lot to him deep down, when he realized that every single person has his back on this."

Phi Delta Theta is selling wrist bands that will be available at the Dutch Bros. OSU coffeehouse on Saturday. They cost $2 and are orange, a color not only chosen to reflect school spirit but because it is the official representative color for leukemia support. The bands, seen all around campus, read, "For the Courageous Fight for Matt."

Matt will be undergoing a bone marrow transplant from his brother Eric, a perfect match, during the winter break from OSU.

Please come out on Nov. 10 and join Dutch Bros., Phi Delta Theta and the Fettig family in the courageous fight for Matt.

Lacey, Wash. - Dutch Bros. Raising Funds for Hurricane Sandy Victims

11/05/2012 - Lacey, Wash. (November 5, 2012) -- On Tuesday, Nov. 13, Dutch Bros. Coffee of Lacey will be donating all net proceeds to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy, the late October storm that killed at least 110 people and caused billions of dollars in damage.

Hurricane Sandy primarily affected residents on the East Coast, particularly in New Jersey and New York City.

Nov. 13 is also Dutch Bros. Lacey's third birthday, which Carrie and Don choose to celebrate by doing what they love most: giving back. In 2011, Dutch Bros. Lacey gave approximately $6,500 to nonprofit organizations and local causes.

Redding, Calif. - Dutch Bros. Raises Funds for CASA of Shasta County

10/31/2012 - Redding, Calif. (October 31, 2012) -- This Friday, Nov. 2, Dutch Bros. locations in Redding and Palo Cedro will be donating $1 from every drink sold to Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Shasta County.

Dutch Bros. Redding co-owner Erin Resner has volunteered as an advocate for the past two-and-a-half years. She explains the program and why it is so beneficial to children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect:

"Once a kid is appointed a CASA, that one person stays with the kid the entire time they are in the system, so the ability to have an impact on a child's life is huge...especially when some of them have never had that person who cares about them and makes them their full focus."

She explains that while a social worker may have 25 cases, a CASA only has one child assigned to him or her at a time. The CASA spends 8-10 hours with the child each month and often takes him or her to do activities, such as play at the park or attend a school event. They attend parent-teacher conferences, take them to appointments and write recommendations for the courts.

All advocates are volunteers and, typically, they pay for any activity costs out-of-pocket, so some of the funds raised will go toward helping offset those expenses.

Funds will also go toward providing more opportunities for children in the system to do things that children from stable homes naturally enjoy, such as playing sports and going to Prom.

All seven Redding-area Dutch Bros. will be participating from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. To find the one nearest you, visit www.dutchbros.com/locations. There will also be jars available at the stands for additional donations to CASA.

Steve and Nikol donated $1 from every drink sold that day, resulting in about $1200 raised, and the community overwhelmed donation jars with an additional $1500.
 
Dutch Bros. Sacramento would like to thank all the kindhearted people who came out yesterday to support the Perez-Rocha family in their time of need. Funds will aid the family with medical expenses and other incidental expenses incurred since the accident.
 
Juan Perez-Rocha, 8, and Henry Perez-Rocha, 6, were both struck by a car at a crosswalk off of Greenback Ln. and Mariposa Ave. last week. Juan was treated and released, but his younger brother Henry is still in critical condition at the U.C. Davis Medical Center.
 
Donations can also be made directly to any Chase Bank to the “Juan and Henry Perez” trust fund under account number 423873525.

$30,799 Raised for Cat Davis Stem Cell Transplant

10/01/2012 - Spokane, Wash. (September 25, 2012) — On September 29th, Dutch Bros. Spokane, the Jeremy Affeldt Foundation and the entire Spokane community teamed up to raise $30,799 for a potentially life-saving stem cell transplant for 24-year-old Cat Davis. 

“I'm overwhelmed by everyone's response to the plea for help,” Cat said.

Dutch Bros. Spokane owners Kevin and Kerry Parker say, “Thank you to the community for showing up; it was huge. And thank you to our baristas. They worked so hard that day and even donated their tips. It was amazing.”

The Parkers learned of Cat’s condition from Cat’s niece, who works for Dutch Bros. Spokane. 

Kerry said, “Cat is such a cool person. She came by quite a few times to thank the baristas and say ‘thank you’ to the customers…she’s going to do great things in the future.”

Funds were raised by selling 16-oz. drinks for $2 and donating $1 of each sale to Cure for Cat, with a match on proceeds from San Francisco Giants pitcher Jeremy Affeldt.

A stem cell transplant is Cat’s last hope to cure her CREST syndrome, an acronym for five diseases that have a long list of debilitating symptoms. 

You can still donate to Cure for Cat by visiting www.cureforcat.com.

Spokane, Wash. - Help Dutch Bros. Spokane Support a Cure for Cat

9/25/2012 - Spokane, Wash. (September 25, 2012) — On September 29th, Dutch Bros. Spokane owners Kevin and Kerry Parker will be selling all 16-oz. drinks for just $2 and donating $1 of each sale to Cure for Cat, a foundation that seeks to raise $125,000 to cover a potentially life-saving stem cell transplant for 24-year-old Cat Davis. 

A stem cell transplant is Cat’s last hope to cure her CREST syndrome, an acronym for five diseases that have a long list of debilitating symptoms. 

The ‘S’ stands for scleroderma, a disease that causes the body to form excess connective tissue that hardens the skin outside and inside to such a degree that Cat’s bodily functions will ultimately cease. Other symptoms of CREST include constant pain, fatigue, vomiting, rashes and finger ulcers.

Cat has tried everything, both medically and homeopathically, to cure this disease, but nothing has worked. She has a matter of months to live, and she needs the stem cell transplant as soon as possible. If her organs harden too much, she will no longer be a candidate for the transplant.

The Parkers learned of Cat’s condition from one of their employees who is related to Cat. They ask that you please come down on September 29th and support a cure for this amazing woman who, at such a young age, has already had to face so much.

Donations may also be made to the “Cat Davis Donation Fund” at any Wells Fargo Bank. 

To learn more about Cat’s story, follow “Cure for Cat” on Facebook or visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/catdavis.

ALL proceeds from Dutch Bros. drink sales and other on-site activities will go to “Breathe Deep” causes.

Seventy percent of proceeds will benefit the Sparrow Club’s Keira Pfeiffer, a four-year-old girl who battles cystic fibrosis, and thirty percent will go toward the Williams Community Forest Project.

The Dutch Bros. crew will be there with a mobile unit, serving up Dutch. Bros. Blue Rebel™ energy drinks, smoothies, freezes and, as always, fun. There will also be food vendors on-site.

Other activities at the family-friendly event include a bounce house and face painting. The event and activities are free, but attendees are asked to bring money for donation to the worthy causes represented.

Evan and Spencer Burton, Indubious’s two front men and brothers, both live with cystic fibrosis and are “trying to help out a family going through a similar thing,” says Evan. Evan underwent a double lung transplant just one year ago.

Cystic fibrosis, or CF, is an inherited, progressive, and life-threatening multisystem disease, which primarily affects the respiratory and digestive systems. CF causes irreversible damage to the lungs and is also characterized by chronic malabsorption of nutrients, which leads to chronic malnutrition and growth issues.

Dutch Bros. Coffee gives back one percent of gross sales to its communities. In 2011, the company donated more than $1 million to nonprofit organizations including local food banks, Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Cancer Society, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and many other organizations.

About Indubious

Indubious describe themselves as “intergalactic reggae revolutionaries,” whose primary goal is “to be the bridge between the needy people and the sources which are needed.” For more information on Indubious, visit www.indubiousmusic.com.

4/15/2010 - Philip McDaniel a customer from Bend, Oregon, is the winner of our Dutch Bros. gift card design contest!

Dutch Bros. received 170+ design submissions from fans. The winning design features the famous Dutch Bros. coffee cup with a corresponding color scheme that includes a windmill and flower background, as well as a quote from a Dutch Proverb that reads, “Who needs the moon, when the sun is shining?” Designs were judged by the Dutch Bros. team.

“We are so pleased with the participation, excitement and energy our fans from all over brought to each design during the contest,” said Adam Cuppy, creative and online media director for Dutch Bros. Coffee. “It was very hard to pick just one winner, but Philip’s design ultimately won because of its creativity and attention to detail that includes Dutch Bros.’ positive vibe and aesthetic. We also really liked that he acknowledged our Dutch roots.”

The winner had the choice of one of the following prizes: a month of free coffee at Dutch Bros., $100 Dutch Wear gift certificate or a pair of customized Dutch Bros. Nike sneakers. McDaniel chose the sneakers.

Dutch Bros. recently launched a formal gift card program, replacing its former Coffee Cash system - dollar gift certificates redeemable at any Dutch Bros. location. The gift cards, available in any amount, can be purchased at any one of over 150 Dutch Bros. locations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.
