Uptown Espresso to donate entire proceeds from Nov. 11 sales to American Veterans
Sun, 11/06/2011
The Uptown Espresso chain of coffee houses (there are two in West Seattle, one in the Junction and another in North Delridge) have designated Friday Nov. 11 as a day to help American Veterans and have announced they will donate all revenue generated that day to the American Lake Veterans Golf Course, a facility that aids in the rehabilitation of local veterans in Lakewood Wa.
The golf course mission statement reads:
The American Lake Veterans Golf Course is dedicated to providing, teaching and promoting the benefits of golf to veterans. VA Puget Sound Health Care System has a population of in-patient and outpatient veterans that have disabilities. The American Lake Veterans Golf Course is committed to providing a therapeutic environment where accommodation is welcome and all golfers can enjoy the benefits of golf, such as exercise and relaxation in a positive and accepting social environment. With these benefits it is our vision that through golf, veterans will increase their independence and improve their attitudes toward health and thus, their lives will be enriched.
The company has issued a poster for the event.
The poster reads:
Uptown Espresso stands with you in gratitude for the service of our Veterans who defend our freedoms. By patronizing Uptown Espresso on Veterans Day, you will be contributing to the American Lake Veterans Golf Course which is making a significant impact in the rehabilitation of local Veterans. American Lake Veterans Golf Course is operated and maintained 100% by volunteers and nearly every dollar of contribution goes directly to the improvement and maintenance of the facility. Join us on Friday, November 11th, enjoy Uptown, and know that your purchase is going to a noble cause.
