Just visit your nearest Caf\u00e9, grab a cup of coffee or yummy snack and make a donation. And best of all, Bob\u2019s will provide a dollar-for-dollar match up to $75,000! So, the more you give, the more we give and when it comes to giving I like to have deep pockets (although, in reality my pockets are actually quite small because, as you know, I am just a puppet with very tiny jeans!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This donation will go to help the over 3 million athletes who participate in over 30,000 Special Olympics events in 200 countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meet the Handle Doctor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Meet the Handle Doctor\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ra9FOz_H33I?start=37&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our partnership with Special Olympics spans well beyond the three months each year we raise money for this organization through our Caf\u00e9 Collection for a Cause program.
