Gloria Jean’s Coffee Tweed Heads participates in Cappuccino for a Cause

Gloria Jean’s Coffees Tweed Heads franchisee had participated in the annual Cappuccino for a Cause event to help raise money for children’s charity, Variety.

The Cappuccino for a Cause event involved Gloria Jean’s coffee shop franchises donating 50c to Variety for every cappuccino sold between Friday 28 October to Saturday 29 October 2011.

“We will be wearing red and putting balloons up,” said Tina Le Gassick, owner of Tweed Heads Gloria Jean’s franchisee.

According to Le Gassick, the Tweeds Head coffee house franchise makes over 200 coffees per day.

“When the opportunity came for us to support Variety, we didn’t hesitate to jump on board. Hopefully it should be good,” said Le Gassick.

Variety is a children’s charity focused in providing assistance to thousands of children that are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

Gloria Jean’s coffee franchises are aiming to raise $150,000 for Variety. The money raised will help the children’s charity provide three Sunshine coaches as well as two custom-built swing-sets for children in wheelchairs.
