Dunkin’ Presents $4,000 Check to Cure 4 The Kids Foundation From Funds Raised on Iced Coffee Day
On May 25, $1 from every iced coffee purchased at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide supported the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation’s mission to bring joy to kids battling illness. Today, Dunkin’ of Las Vegas is proud to announce that $4,000 has been granted locally to Cure 4 The Kids Foundation through the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. Thanks to support from guests nationwide, Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day collectively raised $1.8 Million to support kids in children’s hospitals throughout the country.
“It was amazing to see the outpouring of support from our guests to help make a difference for these kids,” said Alex Apodaca, local Dunkin’ franchisee. “As Dunkin’ franchisees, it is so important for us to give back to the communities we serve and show them we are here to keep them running beyond their daily Dunkin’ run. We are thrilled to support our local partners throughout the country and help them create joyful experiences that allow their patients to still be kids.”
With this grant, Cure 4 The Kids Foundation will bring joy to its patients through their Arts in Medicine Program. It is designed to help young patients battling severe illnesses through creative expression with art, music, dance, theater, and literary exploration.
Since its inception in 2006, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has granted more than $37 million to national and local nonprofits. In 2021, the Foundation awarded 171 grants to hospitals and other nonprofits to help bring joy to kids battling illness.
