SAN ANTONIO — All across the county, The Human Bean coffee shops will host their annual "Coffee for a Cure" breast cancer giveback event.
Proceeds from all food and beverages purchased on Friday, Oct. 18 will be donated to local breast cancer foundations - which can be used to support patients with mammograms, post-diagnosis care and support, and breast cancer education.
The event's official pink and orange cups will be served at the drive-thrus and this year's theme is "Season of Hope." There will also be limited edition "Coffee for a Cure" tumblers and Sili Pints available for sale at certain location and online.
"Coffee for a Cure" is the company's largest nationwide fundraiser of the year and is held each October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Customers are invited to spread awareness about the event by tagging #CoffeeForACure on Instagram while sharing their stories and photos.
“With each year’s Coffee for a Cure event, the aim is to raise awareness and help save the lives of women in our communities,” says Rhonda Hawkins, co-founder of The Human Bean. “It’s about celebrating strength, honoring loved ones, and spreading a message of hope to breast cancer patients and survivors.”
In 2021, there were 272,454 new cases of breast cancer reported in the U.S., according to the CDC, this is the equivalent of 134 cases for every 100,000 women.
Since 2005, The Human Bean's "Coffee for a Cure," giveback program has raised over $3.5 million. In 2024, the company hopes to break the $4 million mark.
