Tips for a Cure, Contributing to Race for a Cure to Breast Cancer

So, I had my first fund raiser at my little coffee bar, I challenged my customers to raise money for the Race for a Cure, to cure breast cancer. I matched the first $100 dollars of tips raised we raised a total of $233.00. It was an easy way to give back as well as a great way to connect with my customers. Many of them came up and told me their stories and thanked me for doing a little bit to build awareness and to give back to the community.

On a side note the event also increased my bottom line; I had new customers coming by because they wanted to be a part of the action.

I would love to hear what others are doing to give back to their communities.

Thanks and Hugs

What a great idea! My wife will participate in a 3-day walkathon in the fall in Philadelphia. I'm going to promote your idea to some local shops. Thanks.
