The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®, Las Vegas Raises Over $3,000 for Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation
As part of the annual Heroes at Heart campaign, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf®, Las Vegas has raised $3,131 for the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation. From May 21 through July 8, $1 from each in-store purchase of limited edition coffee and tea blends were donated to the Foundation, which provides support to victims of fires and catastrophic events throughout Las Vegas.
“We attribute the success of this campaign to the support of the Las Vegas community. The love and appreciation shown for our local first responders has been tremendous,” said Jenny Gidge, director of operations for The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Las Vegas. “This is a remarkable group of men and women who are dedicated to serving and protecting our community. We’re grateful to have met first responders through meet and greets and coffee drops to show our appreciation for all that they do.”
In addition to purchasing these speciality blends for their own brews at home, guests had the option to buy both items to donate back to local first responders. As a result, 2,800 bags of coffee and 275 bags of tea were donated and disbursed to local fire stations, the burn unit at University Medical Center and various emergency dispatch and ambulance headquarters.
The Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation raises funds for further education on fire safety, to send children to seasonal burn camps and school reintegration programs, and to provide counseling and other resources to burn victims and their families, including other firefighters. Additionally, the firefighters collect toys for thousands of disadvantaged children in need during the holidays.
