Contributing to our communities has been a core value of Bob\u2019s since our inception, and I believe that many of our guests are drawn to Bob\u2019s because they share this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The donation will go to help over 3 million athletes who participate in over 30,000 Special Olympics events in 200 countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the past nine years, Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture has taken its dedication to enriching the lives of those with intellectual disabilities to new heights,\u201d said Mary Beth McMahon, our President &amp; CEO of Special Olympics Massachusetts. \u201cSpecial Olympics is proud to call Bob\u2019s a true partner of inclusion and we\u2019re completely blown away that since 2014, they have contributed over $500,000 to provide athletic training and competition, and more importantly they have helped us build a platform for the athletes of our movement to show the world what they are truly capable of. Thank you to Bob\u2019s and their incredible customers, staff and leadership for showing what it means to choose to include.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every quarter we open our 150+ cafes nationwide for Caf\u00e9 Collections for a Cause. I am so grateful to you, my guests, for contributing to worthy nonprofits like Special Olympics and I hope you enjoy free goodies and gourmet coffee when you visit us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are proud to offer a dollar-for-dollar match up to $75,000 during each collection so the more you give, the more I give! My puppet jean pockets may be tiny, but you\u2019d be surprised how deep they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though our three-month campaign to support Special Olympics may have come to an end, you can bet we are rooting athletes on year-round. Bob\u2019s proudly employs Special Olympics athletes across the country including <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/meet-the-handle-doctor\/\">Chuck Yenkner<\/a> who works at our Southington, Connecticut location. &nbsp;In 2015, Chuck attended the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles and won a gold medal in the mini javelin, bronze in the 100M run and a ribbon in the 4x100M relay.&nbsp;<\/p>\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?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>Nationwide Bob\u2019s stores are currently collecting for Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Autism Speaks, Feeding Children Everywhere and local Humane Society chapters depending on location through Sept. 30.
