Coffee for a Cure: Brewing hope for breast cancer patients

November 2025

At Providence, we understand that human connection is the key to keeping patients cared for and known. That's why we've partnered with The Human Bean for more than a decade. 

This year, on October 17, every sip made a difference. At four locations around Oregon, The Human Bean celebrated it's “Coffee for a Cure” daylong fundraising event to benefit local cancer care at Providence.Thanks to the generosity of The Human Bean and its customers, $34,400 was raised to support breast cancer services at Providence hospitals across Oregon.

The annual Coffee for a Cure event is a daylong fundraiser where participating Human Bean locations donate 100% of food and beverage sales to local cancer care programs. These funds help provide mammograms, diagnostic testing, treatment, and education for people in need.

This year’s impact:

• $22,340 for Providence Medford’s Leila J. Eisenstein Breast Center.
• $4,600 for Providence Cancer Institute Newberg Clinic.
• $3,850 for Providence Cancer Institute Willamette Falls Clinic.
• $3,600 for Providence Cancer Center Seaside.

Since launching 20 years ago, Coffee for a Cure has raised more than $4.2 million to help breast cancer patients access life-saving care.
