ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ invites community to ‘Coffee for a Cause’ event on Giving Tuesday

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – invites the community to “Coffee for a Cause,” a special event on Giving Tuesday dedicated to raising funds for ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ students.

This year’s event will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 7 a.m.-11 a.m., in the Building 15 parking lot and in front of Building 19, offering a unique opportunity for the public to support students facing financial challenges.

Guests are encouraged to stop by the “Coffee for a Cause” drive-thru to grab a free coffee and consider donating the money they would have used to buy coffee to the fundraiser. Contributions will go directly toward assisting ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ students and supporting programs that serve them. Many students continue to struggle with the costs of food, technology and other essentials necessary for their academic success.

We’re excited to invite you to be part of ‘Coffee for a Cause,’ a community event dedicated to raising funds for ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ students on Giving Tuesday. Dr. Karen L. Walker, Assistant Vice President of Advancement at ÃûæÂÖ±²¥
