GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Dutch Bros Coffee and its customers raised $496,900 for organizations which support the community’s youth during its 10th annual Buck for Kids day. Friday, September 18, Dutch Bros donated $1 from every drink sold to local organizations hand-picked by Dutch Bros crews for their commitment to creating a brighter future for kids.
“We believe in giving back to our communities and love when our customers join us! We’re so thankful for their help in making a difference for our local youth organizations,” said Katie Hutchinson, vice president of philanthropy at Dutch Bros. “The impact these organizations make for our kids is more important than ever before!”
Buck for Kids is one of Dutch Bros’ annual givebacks. With the help of its customers, the company has raised more than $3 million for youth organizations since Buck for Kids started in 2011. Local franchisees and operators choose which organization they’d like to support, ensuring every dollar stays local.
