Drink Coffee, Raise Money For Cystic Fibrosis

A&E Custom Coffee Roastery is hosting a fundraiser this month to support the CF Foundation.

A local business is making a difference this month, one coffee bean at a time.

 is hosting a fundraiser this month to raise money for the Nashua chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes a severe, sticky buildup in the lungs. This is a dangerous condition and it impacts not only the quality of life, but seriously limits the longevity of those who have the condition.

Here’s how it will work: You buy a card for $1 in the café. They will put your name on that card and post it. They are also donating $2 from every pre-bagged Mexican coffee purchase, which will have special packaging. At the end of the month, A&E will match the amount contributed by these customer purchases!
