Thank you for your interest in participating in this special Coffee with Community event! Together, Starbucks partners will have the opportunity to assemble over 3,000 Battalion Buddies, making a lasting impact on military families.
This meaningful initiative gives participants the chance to honor the resilience and sacrifices of military children by creating Battalion Buddies—stuffed teddy bears that provide comfort and joy during a parent’s deployment. Each coffeehouse or location may reserve ONE Battalion Buddy event box, which includes all the materials needed to assemble 30 Battalion Buddies.
Please note, registration is limited to the first 100 coffeehouses, and spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Don’t miss out on the chance to be part of this special event and make a tangible difference in the lives of military children and their families!
We look forward to having you join us for this impactful experience.
