Bob’s Donates $72k to Special Olympics, Part of “Café Collections for a Cause”

Bob’s Discount Furniture, one of the fastest growing furniture retailers in the country, is continuing its ongoing support of Special Olympics through its successful “Café Collections for a Cause” campaign. Throughout the months of January through March, Bob’s raised $72,000 via collections in stores across the country, which was then matched by the company.

Bob’s has partnered with Special Olympics on the initiative yearly since 2014, raising a total of $347,000 to date. This year, the funds raised will support training and competition programs for athletes across the 18 states where Bob’s has a strong retail presence. The donation will also help offset the costs of uniforms, sports equipment, competitions, facilities, and transportation.

“We are so grateful for Bob’s ongoing commitment to Special Olympics,” said Mary Beth McMahon, president and CEO of Special Olympics Massachusetts. “The ‘Café Collections for a Cause’ campaign is a wonderful giving initiative that motivates members of local communities to learn about and help support our mission.”

To commemorate the opening of the Bob’s store location in Murrieta, California, the $72,000 check donation was presented to both Krystal Johnson, Special Olympics athlete and global messenger, and Brandon Tanner, director of corporate partnerships for Special Olympics Southern California.
