Caribou Coffee to partner with St. John Providence Health System Breast Care Program Climbers

On Friday, May 13 between 11 am – 3 pm, 10 percent of all purchases will be donated to the St. John Providence Breast Care Program.

Caribou Coffee of Grosse Pointe Woods and Grosse Pointe Village have agreed to partner with St. John Providence Health System Climb to Beat Breast Cancer ~ Ben Lomond Challenge team members Melony Johnson of Grosse Pointe Park and Lorraine Owczarek of Chesterfield. Melony and Lorraine will climb to the summit of Ben Lomond (elevation 9,712 ft.) of the Wasatch Mountain, near Ogden, Utah on June 25.

They are part of a team of approximately 40 climbers, who have pledged to raise at least $1,000 for the St. John Providence Health System Breast Care Program.  Funds from the fifth annual “Climb to Beat Breast Cancer” will be used for early detection and financial assistance for high-risk patients who are too young to qualify for other assistance.
