Take 5 Café Supports Pink Shirt Day (Anti-Bullying Campaign)
It feels awesome when one of your (if not your most favorite) coffee shops support campaigns that are near and dear to your heart. I recently learned that Take 5 Café (the awesome coffee shop that is a mere 2 blocks away from my office at The Network Hub and where I have met many a friend for a cup of coffee) is supporting Pink Shirt Day (February 23rd this year). I have written about it before here and here).
The Take 5 Café team delivered a batch of pink cupcakes to my office, but I wasn’t there. I can only imagine how fast they were consumed!
Vancouver based coffee house Take Five Café™ is on board as a sponsor and supporter of this year’s “Bullying Stops Here – Pink Shirt Day” Campaign with CKNW on February 23rd. Throughout the month of February, Take Five Café locations will be selling Pink Cupcakes with all the proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver. This year Take Five Café will also be selling the official Pink Shirt Day T-Shirts leading up to February 23rd. The delicious chocolate cupcakes are baked daily in the Take Five Cafe kitchen in East Vancouver and will be sold for $2.00 each.
Initiatives like this make me feel so happy about my choice of coffee shops. It’s true, bullying should stop and I’m delighted to hear that Take 5 Café is fundraising with this program. Kudos to them.

I totally agree with you, it’s always more appealing when a familiar place supports a right cause
That’s so great that Take Five Café is doing that!
PS: Damn you, now I want a cupcake!!!
Next time I’m in Calgary (May if not earlier) we should have cupcakes!
