Blenz Coffee Joins the Campaign to Support the Make-A-Wish Foundation BC & Yukon
During the month of December, a month focused on gifts and giving, Blenz Coffee servers will be asking each of their customers, “Would you like to donate $2.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation today?”
Vancouver, BC – November 30, 2009
Make-A-Wish® in Canada consists of eight regional Chapters and the Canada Office, which is located in Toronto, Ontario.
In the spirit of holiday giving, Blenz The Canadian Coffee Company Ltd. is offering each of their customers the opportunity to donate $2.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon as they line up to order their favorite Blenz beverages and treats. “Would you like to donate $2.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation today?” It’s a simple question; and with each positive response, one child’s wish is that much closer to coming true.
“Blenz Coffee is very proud to be able to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. It really warms the heart to know that, just by including this simple question in our conversation with each of our customers, we may be able help a child’s wish come true,” says George Moen, president of Blenz Coffee. “Our store staff members are really excited to be a part of this campaign. We’ll all be watching as the contributions grow. We have learned that it takes about $6,000 to grant one child’s wish. By supporting the campaign with in-store signage and profiles on the Blenz Media Network, we hope to generate excitement with our customers, who will be as touched as we are to know that each $2.00 contribution helps toward granting someone’s child a very special wish.”

About The Make-A-Wish Foundation
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is the largest wish granting organization in the world. Since the organization’s inception in 1980, Make-A-Wish has helped make more than 127,000 wishes come true for children between the ages of 3 and 17 with life threatening illnesses. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon was the first chapter established in Canada in 1983 and this year anticipates granting approximately 120 wishes. The objective of Make-A-Wish is to create a memorable experience for both the wish child and his/her family that is not clouded by financial worries.
