Many of you know that
Get The Bean is a proud fighter of cancer. When we started our coffee website we decided to donate part of our proceeds to various cancer charities. But, we wanted to do more than just send money! We wanted to share the many inspirational stories and donate money to various charities. This is why we started
GTB Fights Cancer.Get The Bean asks people to send in their cancer journey stories, whether they are fighters, supporters or caregivers. Then we put every story on our blog
GTB Fights Cancer. Every month, starting January 2009, Get The Bean will pick one story from the blog. The author of the story will be asked to pick any item from
Get The Bean and then pick a charity. For the next year, every time that item is purchased a portion of the purchase price will be donated to the charity they chose.
If you visit our website you can click on the tab
Charity Coffee and you will be able to see what items are part of this charitable program. Any item purchased under Charity Coffee will help fight cancer, how great is that!
