Submitted to Attleboro Patch:

Cumberland Farms has named Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay as the beneficiary of a month-long fundraiser to support the organization’s mission to nurture children and strengthen communities.

For four weeks, beginning Wednesday, June 5, Cumberland Farms will donate 20 cents from every Chill Zone beverage, brewed tea, and coffee (iced or hot) purchased at its store at 1128 Oakhill Ave in Attleboro, MA directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Cumberland Farms aims to raise at least $1,000 for the organization. This minimum will be put towards the organization’s “match” recruitment program which works to spread the word and through that, participation, in the BBBS program.   

“What matters most to the children who are a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters is the guidance they receive from a caring adult in their lives,” said Laura Letourneau, Director of Annual Giving of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay. “This donation will allow BBBS to better support our Bigs so they can in turn do more for their Littles.”

“Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay does an exceptional job making a positive impact on the lives of children in the community, and Cumberland Farms is proud to be sponsoring this organization,” said Rick Lauder, Regional Manager of Cumberland Farms.

To celebrate the partnership, Cumberland Farms Attleboro store employees and members of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Attleboro will be gathering at the Oakhill Ave store for an official kickoff celebration complete with food, drinks and fun gifts.

Over the past year, Cumberland Farms has donated more than $100,000 to support local organizations across the Northeast.
