Get Team HEX Coffee to USCC Nationals!
Donation protected
Hey HEX Coffee family and friends, I have a story to tell you.
This past weekend, we had the opportunity to support one of our production staff at our Roastery, Zack Stamey, in the US Coffee Champs Brewer’s Cup Competition. For those that are unfamiliar, The U.S. Coffee Championships is a series competitions celebrating specialty coffee. The current portfolio involves a number of competition events, which includes the U.S. Brewers Cup.
We had the incredible fortune to place in the top 15, securing us a spot in the National competition for the US Brewer’s Cup Champion. This year the competition will be held in Orange County, California and will take place the weekend of February 21-23. We genuinely believe that our hard work has earned us this opportunity, and we believe that we have a fighting chance to win the whole thing!
This is where you come in: we need help making this opportunity into a reality! Competition is expensive, and traveling across the country to compete is no easy lift. This being our first go at the US CC, we dove in headfirst and had no idea how deep it would take us. And we are hoping that you can help us fight to prove that we aren’t outside our depth!
We hope to raise $4000 by February 9th to make this dream a reality. This will cover travel and competition costs for Zack and one coach (cost break down is below). We also have a stretch goal of $4500 to get one more coach out to the competition.
We know this is a big lift, but we are confident that our extended HEX family is strong enough.
Also, every dollar raised above our goal will be donated to a local charity that Zack has chosen, The Relatives Youth Crisis Center. The mission of The Relatives is simple: keep kids safe, families together, and prepare youth and young adults to be healthy, productive, engaged members of the community. If you would like to learn more about The Relatives, or to make a contribution to their cause outside this campaign, visit www.therelatives.org
Meeting this goal would be incredible! Zack has worked so hard to see this dream a reality. We, at HEX, have invested time and money to help him reach that goal by funding his trip to the US CC Qualifier in Nashville, and he has met and exceeded all our expectations. Now, we hope that you will join us
