Sponsors Keep Rolling in for 20th Anniversary Celebration
Our sponsor list for Coffee Kids 20th Anniversary Celebration Dinner keeps growing as we get closer to the May 3 event. The celebration will commemorate achievements over the past two decades and honor all of our partners and our members who have helped thousands of coffee-farming families around the world improve their quality of life.
Tickets for the celebration dinner are available at the price of $75 each and reservations are required. Coffee Kids still has various sponsorship opportunities available. Any sponsorship revenue in excess of costs will be directed toward Coffee Kids projects in Latin America. Please contact Heather Ferraro by e-mail at or call 505-820-1143 for more information on tickets or sponsorship opportunities.
Our platinum donor is Longbottom Coffee and Tea, a coffee roaster and retailer based in Hillsboro, Ore. Owner and CEO Michael Baccellieri and his company have been enthusiastic Coffee Kids supporters since 1992. Baccellieri even traveled with our staff to Oaxaca, Mexico, in April 2007 to learn about the efforts of Coffee Kids partner FomCafé.
