HILLSBORO, Ore.--First Tech said it is partnering with Tyfone to provide Java4Kids coffee in its Hillsboro corporate headquarters. All proceeds generated will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals).
The $17-billion First Tech is one of the founders of CU4Kids, which brings together credit unions and business partners from across the country to raise funds for CMN Hospitals.
First Tech said it has raised millions of dollars throughout the years to support children’s healthcare. By adding the Java4Kids program at its headquarters, the credit union is said it is enabling employees, as well as members, to actively participate in the fundraising efforts by simply enjoying a cup of coffee.
Coffee Shop Operated by Students
The credit union operates a coffee shop, Ground Up, that is completely run by local high school students. Ground Up now serves Java4Kids coffee drinks to customers and bags of Java4Kids coffee beans can be purchased in store or online – generating a $5 donation to CU4Kids per bag sold, First Tech said.
Proceeds from drink purchases are donated to a scholarship fund for Hillsboro School District students.
In the ‘DNA’
“Part of First Tech’s DNA and part of the DNA of our friends at Tyfone is giving back to the community,” said Chief People and Administrative Officer Monique Little. “Our partnership with Tyfone and our existing student operated Hillsboro School District coffee shop, Ground Up, provides an incredible opportunity for us to blend forces to make a very meaningful impact in supporting Credit Unions for Kids and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We are so excited about being the first credit union retailer of Java4Kids and for continuing this work to make an even deeper impact in the lives of children and their families."
