Bruegger’s donated nearly $90,000 to the Children’s Miracle Network last year.

This year, Bruegger’s will continue to raise funds for the organization and its local hospitals by donating a percentage of nationwide sales from the company’s Bottomless Mugs, which go on sale Oct. 26, and by collecting donations during Bruegger’s national Free Coffee Day on Nov. 9.

“We’re so pleased to have a partner that believes in our local community and works to raise awareness and funds to help Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh perform its mission,” said Amy Razem, development coordinator for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.
