Partnership to Help Kids Battling Cancer Continues on April 20

April 12, 2018 // Franchising.com // Kansas City, KS - Scooter’s Coffee, the Midwest-based coffee franchise that has experienced tremendous growth over the past year, is hosting their fifth #CoffeeKicksCancer donation day for The Victory Project, an initiative from Sporting Kansas City that unites players, staff and fans to help children battling cancer. On Friday, April 20, Kansas City area Scooter’s Coffee locations will donate 20 percent of proceeds to the foundation to help further its mission.

This donation day is the third event of 2018 in a season-long collaboration in which Scooter’s Coffee will not only raise money for The Victory Project but also help raise awareness for the program.

“The Victory Project is very thankful for the continued support from Scooter’s Coffee,” said Brandi Thomas, Executive Director of The Victory Project. “The funds that will be raised on Friday’s awareness day will allow us to continue impacting the lives of children battling cancer.”

The first #CoffeeKicksCancer day held in 2018 raised over $6,000 for The Victory Project. In addition, Scooter’s Coffee will host several Days of Giving in 2018 in which 100% of sales made at various new locations will be donated to The Victory Project.

“The opportunity to partner with a quality foundation like The Victory Project just made sense for myself and the brand. We see this as a great way to reach out to those in our community who are battling the difficult circumstance of childhood cancer. We want them to know that we care and we are supporting them during a difficult time in their life,” stated Tracy Bouwens, one of the owners of Freedom Enterprises, which owns many Kansas City locations. “Most of us have been touched or affected by the struggles and heartache of cancer, whether it's personally, a family member or a close friend. My mother-in-law passed away at the age of 45 from cancer. That was tough, to say the least. But when cancer affects a child, it is absolutely heart-wrenching.”

One of The Victory Project’s special initiatives is Sporting Wishes, which identifies children who receive a secondary cancer diagnosis or relapse and then grants them a wish.

“The fact that The Victory Project has identified a way to create happiness for these kids, even for just a day, truly touches our hearts, and we couldn’t be more honored to help make Sporting Wishes come true!” stated Bouwens.

Scooter’s Coffee is quickly approaching 200 locations in 16 states and has 135 franchisee commitments to build new stores. The company is in the midst of a robust grand opening pipeline. It recently opened additional locations in San Antonio, Texas and Sacramento, California. Other expanding markets include Nevada, Arkansas, Colorado and Texas.

Scooter’s Coffee, based in Omaha, Nebraska, specializes in hand-tamped espresso drinks, baked-from-scratch pastries and features their signature drink, the Caramelicious®. The company roasts its own shade-grown coffee, sourced through the Arbor Day Foundation. Over the past year, some of Scooter’s Coffee’s product innovations and additions included the Tropical Red Bull® Infusion, Horchata Latte and new Caramelicious® flavors.

About The Victory Project

Sporting Club, the parent organization of Sporting Kansas City, launched The Victory Project in 2013 to tangibly impact the lives of children battling cancer. Since then, the foundation has raised over $1 million and supported families by covering basic household expenses, car payments and more when the financial strain of a cancer diagnosis sets in. The foundation’s newest and most impactful program, Sporting Wishes, was launched in 2017 in response to the reality that over 20 children annually are diagnosed with a secondary cancer or relapse in our community. Sporting Wishes gives these children an opportunity to take control of their happiness and make their dreams come true - whether it is swimming with dolphins, visiting a volcano or meeting their favorite Disney princess.
