City Brew Coffee to help St. Baldrick's Foundation with roasts

That morning cup of java helps kick start your day, but have you ever thought that a bag of coffee could help save a child’s life? City Brew Coffee, a Billings, Mont.-based coffee roaster, thinks just that and has proudly partnered with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in a “freshly brewed” endeavor to Conquer Kids’ Cancer! The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.



The new St. Baldrick’s Blend is available in five Special Edition labels, each featuring one of the five St. Baldrick’s Foundation 2011 Ambassador Kids who represent the startling reality that one in five kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will not survive. For every online purchase of St. Baldrick’s Blend, $2.50 will go to the Foundation to support life-saving childhood cancer research.



“We are very excited about our partnership with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and believe it takes City Brew Coffee drinkers to help Conquer Kids’ Cancer!” says Jeff LaSeur, Chief Operating Officer of City Brew Coffee. “We encourage coffee drinkers to try the new blend. Not only will you love its rich flavor, but we hope you will take great satisfaction in knowing that you are making a difference in the life of a child with cancer.”



Each Special Edition bag features a custom front and back label, specific to each 2011 St. Baldrick’s Ambassador Kid, showcasing a photo of the child, their current age and treatment status and a brief bio on their battle with cancer.



St. Baldrick’s 2011 Ambassador Kids include:

Julia, 17, California, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in remission
Pietro, 12, Michigan, medulloblastoma, in remission
Shaun, 10, New Mexico, angiosarcoma, cancer free
Iana, 6, Wisconsin, Wilms tumor, cancer free
Arden, Pennsylvania, neuroblastoma, Nov. 12, 2004 – Aug. 30, 2008.
