## Story

Beyond its Veterans Day offer, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii has a long-standing commitment to honoring our nation’s military. In 2006, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii answered the call of a staff sergeant deploying to Iraq who felt that having Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii’s “good and strong” coffee would not only help him on duty, but it would also be a “connection to home.”

This simple request led to the creation of Cup O’ Joe for a Soldier, a program that continues to this day and has shipped nearly 15,000 bags of coffee to service personnel around the world. On Veterans Day and throughout the year, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii accepts donations at www.badasscoffee.com/bad-ass-for-good to help keep coffee and a taste of home flowing to those who serve overseas.

To further bolster the Cup O’ Joe for a Soldier program, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii recently partnered with Packages From Home, an organization that serves military members stationed or deployed overseas with requested food, hygiene and entertainment items to boost morale and quality of life.

“At Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, we believe that no one should have to drink bad coffee, especially those who work hard to keep us safe and free,” said Scott Snyder, CEO of Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii. “On Veterans Day and always, we salute our active duty and retired military and sincerely thank them for their service.”

Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii was born on the Big Island of Hawai’i in 1989 and is dedicated to sharing premium Hawaiian coffees “with a kick” from the Hawaiian Islands through more than 20 franchise locations – with additional shops to open soon. Today, Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii stores also serve popular blended drinks, teas, food, along with other international premium coffees and sell popular branded merchandise with exceptional service and the Aloha Spirit. Bad Ass Coffees are available in franchise stores, online and will soon be available through grocery, hospitality, and specialty retail channels.
