Gloria Jean’s Coffees Drinks Innovation & Barista Trainer Melita Ferraro said the brand is proud to support the essential work the charity does for Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs.
“Dating back to 2011 and encompassing a number of successful fundraising campaigns, our relationship with Variety is really strong, and we are pleased to assist their hard work wherever we can,” she said.
This year, Gloria Jean’s Coffees’ support of Variety – the Children’s Charity included in-store collections, and a ‘Cappy Hour’ campaign.
