CAFÉ DU MONDE IN SUPPORT OF MACMILLAN

Lead­ing cof­fee sys­tems dis­trib­utor, Café du Monde, is once again this year sup­port­ing Macmillan’s fun­drais­ing ini­ti­at­ive, “World’s Biggest Cof­fee Morn­ing” on Septem­ber 25^th. It is dif­fi­cult to believe that this is the event’s 19^th anniversary and the fifth year that Café du Monde has been involved. So far, Café du Monde and its cus­tom­ers have raised an impress­ive £40,000 in sup­port of Mac­mil­lan Can­cer Support.

Mac­mil­lan Can­cer Sup­port helps improve the lives of people affected by can­cer. Over two mil­lion people in the UK are liv­ing with can­cer and The World’s Biggest Cof­fee Morn­ing is the charity’s largest fun­drais­ing effort of the year. Every penny raised will help fund vital can­cer care ser­vices includ­ing provid­ing essen­tial inform­a­tion, expert med­ical care, emo­tional sup­port and fin­an­cial help.

As usual this year, Café du Monde will be per­suad­ing its cus­tom­ers to help by hold­ing their own cof­fee morn­ing on Fri­day, Septem­ber 25^th and donat­ing the pro­ceeds to Mac­mil­lan. Café du Monde will be giv­ing each of its cus­tom­ers hold­ing a cof­fee morn­ing 100 sachets of Fairtrade cof­fee free to pro­mote the event and it is hoped that the rev­enue from more than 4,000 cof­fees brewed will swell Macmillan’s cof­fers by over £10,000.

Café du Monde has been sup­por­ted in its efforts by its cus­tom­ers and sup­pli­ers alike. Its cof­fee roaster has per­son­al­ised every one of the Fairtrade cof­fee sachets dis­trib­uted; Newby Teas is donat­ing tea and teapots; cus­tom­ers them­selves are offer­ing raffle prizes includ­ing a free night’s accom­mod­a­tion at some top class hotels. Condé Nast Johan­sens, for whom Café du Monde is the pre­ferred cof­fee sup­plier, is pro­mot­ing the event through its part­ners and also itself donat­ing raffle prizes.

Says Man­aging Dir­ector of Café du Monde, David Lat­chem: “Café du Monde cel­eb­rates its 20^th anniversary this year and for the last five, we have sup­por­ted the World’s Biggest Cof­fee Morn­ing. It is such a worthy cause and every year our cus­tom­ers rally round in force and enter into the spirit of the occa­sion. I am immensely proud that they have raised a mag­ni­fi­cent amount of money over the years and I am con­fid­ent that des­pite the eco­nomic cir­cum­stances this year, we will break all records. I would per­son­ally like to thank our sup­pli­ers, who have helped us in so many dif­fer­ent ways to plan the event this year.”
