Today was the big kick off for the new offering of our first Cause Coffee, Ovar’coming Together’s Teal Ribbon Collection. The Run/Walk that started at the City Market in downtown Indianapolis was the big event. We served the coffee to anyone that wanted to taste test the coffee. It was a big hit. We also came with 72 pounds of freshly roasted coffee for purchase. Only 12 pounds remain. You can still purchase that coffee by contacting Ovar. Get it while it is fresh. 40% of the proceeds goes to the organization. You can continue to show your support throughout the year by purchasing the coffees at Midwest Coffee Roasting Company.
Thank you to all the great people that came out to show their support for this organization in so many ways. The volunteers that came started setting up at 5 a.m. What a great crew. We spoke with many of the survivors and they are such an example to all. You can read more about Ovar’coming Together at their site.

Great post. I work in health care education and am always amazed at how a community comes together to support such causes. Cancer sucks. Everyone has been impacted by it. What sucks worse is how easily people are scammed by so-called non-profits attempting to capitalize on the pity emotion. Thankfully yours isn’t one of those groups. Glad to see genuine compassion… and coffee… joined together to combat cancer… (compassion. coffee. combat. cancer. – not bad, eh?)
