GRANTS PASS, Ore.

All 1,850+ Dutch Bros locations participated in the 17th annual giveback, donating proceeds from every drink sold on May 17 to nonprofits focused on youth development and well-being. “We are so thankful for the generosity of our customers,” said Christine Barone, chief executive officer at Dutch Bros Coffee. “They showed up in a big way to support youth in their communities. It’s truly amazing to see the impact of Drink One for Dane grow each year and continue to honor Dane’s legacy.” Drink One for Dane began in 2007 in memory of Dane Boersma, one of the co-founders of Dutch Bros, who passed away from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Each year, the Dutch Bros family celebrates his life by giving back to the communities he loved. Over the years, Drink One for Dane has raised more than $15 million. This year, funds were distributed to more than 400 local organizations.
