OMAHA, Neb., USA \u2013 Through the sales of a sweet treat and the generosity of its customers, Scooter\u2019s Coffee donated more than $200,000 to Make-A-Wish to support their mission of creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.\u00a0Scooter\u2019s Coffee celebrated the donation at Store #262 in Ogallala, Neb. on Monday.<\/p>\n
The Scooter\u2019s Coffee location in Ogallala, operated by franchise owner Tracy Bouwens and Freedom Enterprises, raised the most funds for Make-A-Wish through the sale of Courage Cookie Sandwiches and customer donations.<\/p>\n
In total, Scooter\u2019s Coffee will donate $206,716.19 to Make-A-Wish through the campaign and additional customer donations.<\/p>\n
From late September through the month of October, customers could Scoot On Around\u00ae to any Scooter\u2019s Coffee location to purchase a Courage Cookie Sandwich, a sweet and buttery rainbow sprinkled sugar cookie sandwich with a creamy vanilla buttercream filling. A portion of the sale of each cookie sandwich, along with additional donations made by customers, led to the final amount donated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only thing sweeter than our Courage Cookie Sandwich was being able to support the incredible mission at Make-A-Wish and the families who need a special moment in the midst of a challenging time,\u201d Malorie Maddox, chief brand and marketing officer at Scooter\u2019s Coffee said. \u201cWe are honored to donate more than $200,000 to help Make-A-Wish make even more wishes come true for children nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Studies show that wishes can boost resilience, improve treatment compliance, and lead to better medical outcomes. Most wish kids go on to survive their illness, underscoring the life-changing power of hope. Through this campaign, donations will help expand the organization\u2019s reach into more communities and bring it closer to its goal of ensuring every eligible child experiences the healing impact of a wish.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are deeply grateful for our collaboration with Scooter\u2019s Coffee, whose generosity and dedication have amplified our mission and enriched the lives of the wish kids we serve. Together, we are building stronger communities and creating hope and joy for the children who need it most,\u201d said Make-A-Wish Nebraska President and CEO, Brigette Young. \u201cThank you, Scooter\u2019s Coffee, for standing alongside us and making a lasting impact for our wish kids and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
