/PRNewswire/ -- Dutch Bros and its customers came together on
Friday, May 17, for the 18th annual
Drink One for Dane to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association
(MDA) and its mission to end Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
We're stoked to share that the Dutch Bros Foundation has donated
$2.5 million to the MDA.
"Drink One for Dane is an incredible example of how
purpose-driven brands can make a tangible impact on the mission of
Muscular Dystrophy Association to end ALS. The enthusiastic support
of Dutch Bros' customers and crews, gives our community hope and
determination. This donation of $2.5
million speaks directly to the power of this generous
community. Together, we are raising funds to propel research and
care forward, and also raising awareness to bring more people into
the fight for a future free from ALS," said Morgan Roth, chief marketing officer, Muscular
Dystrophy Association.
Dutch Bros was founded by brothers, Dane
and Travis Boersma. Dane passed away from ALS in 2009. Dutch
Bros and the Boersma family started Drink One for Dane after his
diagnosis as a way to bring awareness to ALS and help further
research to find a cause and cure.
"Drink One for Dane wouldn't be possible without the
overwhelming support from our customers every year," said
Christine Barone, chief executive
officer at Dutch Bros. "We're honored to make a difference in
supporting all of the work the Muscular Dystrophy Association does
and continues to do."
*Total funds donated includes additional donations from
