A few years ago, we got to see Dutch Bros co-founder, Travis Boersma, share the story of founding the coffee sensation with his brother on CBS's Undercover Boss. He also shared that his brother passed away in 2009 from ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease.)

In Dane's memory, every Dutch Bros location in the Treasure Valley is celebrating "Drink One For Dane" today. 100% of today's proceeds will be donated to help find a cure for ALS. Dutch Bros does so much good for the Treasure Valley that we want to help them with this great cause!

This cause means a lot to me because one of my favorite teachers was diagnosed with ALS in 2013.  Before her diagnosis she was an active mom of three beautiful kids and her father's assistant coach for my high school's girls basketball team.  At age 42, Mrs. T is now at the point where she needs a handicapped equipped vehicle to keep up with her family. It breaks my heart just thinking about how this horrible disease has impacted the life of such a positive role model.  So today, I'm drinking one not just for Dane, but for Mrs. T too!

Spread the word, drink one for Dane and make a difference.
