Robert Harris, together with its loyal customers, has raised more than $333,000 for Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand by sponsoring its annual Pink Ribbon Breakfast campaign for the last eight years.
For the past eight years, Robert Harris nationwide has been selling merchandise, collecting donations and hosting Pink Ribbon Breakfasts to support Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand.
Franchise manager David Thackery says the partnership is a reflection of the community spirit of the coffee brand’s founder, Robert Harris: “During the 1950s, Harris was heavily involved in community work. Today, the brand supports the Breast Cancer Foundation as a way of honouring his legacy. We’re really proud to have been able to ‘come together for good’ for eight years and contribute to such a worthy cause”.
This year, the network of cafes hosted New Zealand’s biggest ever all-day breakfast on May 14th, donating the value of every coffee sold with breakfast to BCFNZ.
“The incredible amount they’ve raised is making a real difference in our work to reach zero deaths from breast cancer. The proceeds raised by Robert Harris help us to be there for women going through breast cancer, invest in research to find better and more treatments, and educate New Zealanders about the importance of early detection,” confirms Ah-Leen Rayner, chief executive of Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand.
