'Drink One For Dane' In Nearby Davis or Fairfield and Support Research For Lou Gehrig's Disease

Friday, May 1, is “Drink One for Dane Day,” when more than 240 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in seven states -- including several in the Sacramento, Sonoma and Napa areas -- will donate proceeds to the Muscular Dystrophy Association , the world leader in fighting Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The event kicks off ALS Awareness Month and is held annually in honor of company co-founder, Dane Boersma, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and passed away in late 2009, the company said.

“We are eternal optimists and believe one day there will be a cure for ALS,” said Travis Boersma, Dane’s brother and Dutch Bros. Coffee Co-Founder. “The services provided to families facing this disease are so vital, and we are pleased to support those families.”

Last year, Dutch Bros. contributed $352,590 to MDA for research and family services funding. Since becoming involved with MDA in 2007 Dutch Bros. has donated over $1.2 Million.
