There’ll be a lot going on in Boston in the middle of April — the opening games of the Boston Red Sox, for one thing. But in terms of worldwide events, there are two that particularly stand out in our minds: The Specialty Coffee Association of America’s Conference and Expo, and the Boston Marathon. Both are huge: the SCAA is arguably the biggest and most important coffee gathering in the world, and the Boston Marathon is one of the top annual athletic events globally. And we’re gonna be there!
Now, for those of us who didn’t qualify for the Boston Marathon (a-hem), we can all rest easy knowing that the coffee world will be well represented at the Boston Marathon by none other than Guy Burdett, who is not only a self-described “avid/crazy marathoner,” but is the President of InterAmerican Coffee! And guess what? Guy is doing something pretty darn special to marry this coming together of his two passions, running and coffee: he is dedicating his race to raising money for Coffee Kids. That’s pretty amazing!
Guy says, “I would be honored if you would make a donation to Coffee Kids to support this endeavor.
