Caribou Coffee Pays Tribute to Caregivers this October in Memory of Roastmaster

Caribou Coffee is paying TRIBUTE to cancer caregivers this year with an innovative effort to show gratitude. In a first-of-its-kind partnership with TRIBUTE, the web application designed to help people recognize and honor those around them, Caribou will thank caregivers everywhere through a community video project. For the past 21 years, Caribou Coffee has supported those impacted by breast cancer in memory of their original Roastmaster, Amy Erickson, who passed away from cancer in 1995. Part of their effort has been to recognize the caregiver as the often unsung hero in the cancer journey. Amy’s memory and spirit continues to inspire Caribou’s belief in not just doing, but in doing more – even on National Coffee Day (9/29).
