The Mosaic Life Care Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund recently received a large donation from a St. Joseph restaurant.

In October, The Human Bean, a new drive-thru espresso franchise in St. Joseph held a “Coffee for a Cure” fundraiser.

Earlier this week, Chau Nguyen, MD accepted the donation of $5,070.88 from The Human Bean. Mosaic Life Care Auxiliary matched the $5,070.88 donation for a total of $10,141.76 to benefit breast cancer patients.

All sales on October 21 – 100 percent of proceeds plus tips – were donated by The Human Bean, who participated in Coffee For A Cure for the first time in St. Joseph. Nationwide, The Human Bean hosted its 10th annual Coffee For A Cure and donated 100 percent of one day’s beverage and pastry sales to breast cancer programs.

Mosaic Life Care Auxiliary assisted in the creation of Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph Breast Care, a coordinated–care effort linking cancer and surgical specialists with the patients they serve. Through these and ongoing efforts, the Auxiliary now supports the Breast Cancer Patient Assistance fund, which does everything from providing soft, cotton terry robes to patients who are undergoing treatment to aiding women who need financial help to receive treatment.
