September 27, 2024 // Franchising.com // LEHI, UTAH — This October, Swig’s Save The Cups campaign is pouring its heart out — and sodas! — for Breast Cancer Awareness with a goal to raise $300,000 in one month.

Swig will be hosting its 5th annual Save The Cups. Spanning through all of October, the campaign promotes awareness, encourages mammograms, and raises money for women fighting breast cancer.

Swig customers can contribute to the campaign all October long by purchasing featured drinks, specialized merch, or simply making a donation at their local Swig.

The raised funds will be given directly to women battling breast cancer, who can use the donations to help combat the cost of medical bills for them and their families. After 2023’s Save The Cups, Swig was able to donate funds to 30 women.

“It was life changing,” said Courtney Haynie, a Swig customer and breast cancer survivor from Houston, Texas, who was a Save The Cups recipient this last year. “It is an expensive process going through cancer treatment, and it’s already such an emotionally and physically draining experience. Save The Cups saved our lives financially and allowed us to move forward in one aspect from that terrible experience. We were beyond grateful to have been chosen and to have received that relief.”

Additionally, on Monday, Oct. 7, Swig will host a Save The Cups festival at Cornbelly’s in Spanish Fork, Utah. Attendees can celebrate at the venue, play games, win prizes, enjoy free Swig, and donate to this great cause. The night will end with a festive drone show finale.

“The financial help brought me a sense of community and support and reminded me that I’m not alone in fighting this terrible disease,” said Lynn Zahn, a Save The Cups recipient from Oklahoma City. “I am a middle school principal, so when the Swig team showed up to my school’s morning assembly, it meant such a great deal to be able to share this moment with my family, as well as our students and teachers. It was a great day.”

“Being a recipient really helped change my whole mindset on being sick,” said Ashlie Watts-Adams, a Save The Cups recipient from Ogden, Utah. “I am still getting treatments and have another big surgery to get through at the end of this year, but I honestly haven’t even thought about bills at all since receiving the prize. I am so grateful for Swig!”
