COEUR d'ALENE - On Friday, May 4, Dutch Bros. Coffee locations will host MDA Day, donating all proceeds to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research.

The event, which kicks off ALS Awareness Month, is held annually in honor of company co-founder Dane Boersma, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and passed away in late 2009. Last year, Dutch Bros. contributed a record-breaking $137,000 to MDA for research and family services funding.

Additionally, Dutch Bros. will be giving away MDA stickers. Customers may also make donations at danesdrive.org.

All Dutch Bros. Coffee drive-throughs in Oregon, Colorado, Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona will participate.

In addition to MDA Day, Dutch Bros. Coffee reinvests 1 percent of its annual gross sales back into its local communities, and in 2011, the company donated more than $1 million to nonprofit organizations including local food banks, American Cancer Society and Boys & Girls Clubs of America and many other organizations.
