NORTHERN COLORADO — Human Bean Northern Colorado raised $67,598 during its Coffee for a Cure event, Oct. 20.

All 10 drive-thru locations donated 100% of sales to provide financial assistance to overcome barriers related to the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer — and all cancers — for patients at local Banner and UCHealth facilities.

Funds raised are being equally divided between local Banner and UCHealth facilities.

“This is our largest fundraising event of the year,” Frank Sherman, owner of Human Bean Northern Colorado, said in a prepared statement. “We are so proud of how hard our staff works to put this event together, and proud of our customers who always come out to support cancer fighters in our community. Together we are making a difference.”
