GRANTS PASS, Ore. (PRWEB) October 10, 2016 -- Dutch Bros decided to change the way it celebrated National Coffee Day and donated funds from the day to children. With the help the community, Dutch Bros is able to donate $401,212 to local nonprofits serving youth.
“I’m a kid at heart and love supporting the great opportunities for children to play, grow and receive care through Buck for Kids Day,” said Dutch Bros, Co-founder Travis Boersma. “We are grateful for the work these organizations do every day to support our children and communities.”
