MONTRÉAL, May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DAVIDsTEA Inc. (TSXV:DTEA) (“DAVIDsTEA” or the “Company”), a leading tea merchant in North America, is pleased to honour National Nurses Day by announcing their successful donation of over two million cups of tea to frontline heroes since the start of the pandemic. In celebration, nurses can stop by any of DAVIDsTEA’s 18 flagship stores across Canada throughout the month of May and enjoy a free cup of tea!
Having reached its initial one million cups donation milestone in 2022, the Company set a new goal of reaching two million cups by the end of 2023; swiftly achieved with DAVIDsTEA’s December announcement that all customer purchases would equal one cup of tea donated until the milestone was reached.
Today, in honour of National Nurses Day, the Company is thrilled to continue supporting these hardworking healthcare heroes with a special thank you: all month long, nurses can visit any one of the Company’s stores to enjoy a free cup of the Tea of the Day—no purchase required.
DAVIDsTEA is continuing its support of frontline heroes—including healthcare workers, educators, first responders, and more—across Canada and the US by increasing their donation goal to three million cups of tea. Starting today, every purchase made in all 18 DAVIDsTEA flagship stores and online at davidstea.com equals one cup of tea donated. Further, those wishing to nominate local frontline heroes to receive tea donations can complete and submit the Company’s sponsorship form.
“Tea is more than just tea—it’s comfort in a cup,” said Sarah Segal, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Brand Officer, DAVIDsTEA, adding, “that’s why it’s always been important to us at DAVIDsTEA to care for our community, and we’re honoured to be able to share our appreciation and bring a little bit of joy to the day of so many hardworking frontline heroes.”
