OMAHA, Neb., USA – The National Cancer Institute estimates about 13% of women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, but thanks to incredible advances in research and treatment, survival rates have steadily improved: to help fund this lifesaving work, Scooter’s Coffee will donate 20% of sales of two Courage-themed products to The Pink Agenda, a nonprofit committed to raising money for breast cancer research and care, as well as awareness of the disease among young professionals.
“So many of us have been impacted by breast cancer ourselves or in someone we love. The Courage of breast cancer patients and the Love shown by those rallying behind them is inspiring,” said Becky Vinton Jeanette, Executive Director of Community Affairs at Scooter’s Coffee. “Guided by our Core Values of Courage and Love, we’re entering the fifth consecutive year of partnership with The Pink Agenda to one day find a cure and put an end to this devastating disease.”
Since 2020, Scooter’s Coffee has donated nearly $676,000 to The Pink Agenda and sold more than 1 million Courage Cookies to support significant advances in breast cancer research.
“Through our ongoing partnership with Scooter’s Coffee and the generosity of its customers, employees and franchise owners, The Pink Agenda can continue funding life-changing research and care needed to save lives with the goal of one day making breast cancer history,” said Serra Eken, Managing Director for The Pink Agenda. “We remain committed to raising awareness of this disease, especially among young professionals. It’s important to engage today’s generation to find tomorrow’s cure.”
Throughout the month of October, customers can Scoot On Around™ to their nearest Scooter’s Coffee location to support this critical research by purchasing a customer-favorite Courage Cookie, a new Courage Quencher, or by adding a donation to their order.
The Courage Cookie is a delicious sugar cookie baked fresh and topped with a savory cream cheese frosting and pink sprinkles. This golden, rich, and crumbly cookie is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a classic confection while also supporting the fight against breast cancer. Courage Cookies are priced at $2.95 each or 2 for $5.50.
The Courage Quencher is a refreshing new addition to this effort to support breast cancer research. This light pink iced drink features the thirst-quenching flavors of strawberry and lime paired with our smooth coconut milk and topped with freeze-dried blueberries. Courage Quenchers are priced starting at $4.95 for a small.
Donations made by customers and 20% of the sales of the Courage Cookie and the Courage Quencher will be donated to The Pink Agenda. Pricing may vary by location. These menu items and the opportunity to donate directly to The Pink Agenda will only be available at Scooter’s Coffee locations until October 31, 2024.
The Pink Agenda funds four major research projects through its strategic partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). These projects aim to: improve survivorship and treatment approaches; eliminate disparities in access to care in ethnically diverse communities; investigate risk factors to inform preventative strategies; and understand genetic risks.
