BIGGBY® COFFEE TO PARTNER WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Posted on February 17, 2020

Brew Change and Round Up Change to Support Special Olympics

 

East Lansing, MI, February 16, 2020–BIGGBY® COFFEE is excited to announce their new partnership with Special Olympics between February 16 and February 23. In a community where we exist to love everyone, we are honored to work with Special Olympics as they foster a global movement to create a world of inclusivity and community—a place where every person is accepted and welcome regardless of ability of disability.

 

Beginning February 16, help BIGGBY® COFFEE raise money for the Special Olympics cause by simply rounding up when you order your favorite BIGGBY® beverage. Through the power of sports, Special Olympics is helping people with disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills, and success. BIGGBY® COFFEE couldn’t be any more excited to help support an organization that believes in love and inclusivity as much as they do!

 

Throughout the week, try the Polar Bear Latte at all BIGGBY® COFFEE locations. This delicious latte is made with white chocolate and hazelnut and is being promoted as brave people throughout the state will participate in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics.

 

Whether you want to stay dry and brew change or take the plunge and need a warm cup of coffee to recover, you can have a part in raising awareness at your local BIGGBY® COFFEE.

 

Stop by any BIGGBY® COFFEE throughout the nation between February 16 and February 23 and help us brew change throughout our communities.  For more information about the Special Olympics visit www.specialolympics.org.

BIGGBY® COFFEE, East Lansing, Mich.-based, was started with a single store on March 15, 1995. One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, Bob Fish and Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. BIGGBY® COFFEE’s cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, B Yourself, and Share Great Coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Besides connoisseur-worthy drinks with pronounceable names like Teddy Bear® and Caramel Marvel®, BIGGBY® baristas provide a unique experience focused on brightening their customers’ day and supporting them in building a life they love. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY® COFFEE has more than 230 cafes across many states including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Florida. In 2018, BIGGBY® launched an Area Representative Program and currently has 8 Area Representatives in 6 states.
