Can you tell me how many coffees does it take to fill 7 olympic swimming pools?



Gloria Jeans is hoping to pour more than 7 Olympic Swimming pools of cappuccinos over the 2 day Cappuccino for a Cause event.

This is Gloria Jean's Coffee Houses major fundraising event and is back bigger than ever in 2015! Being held over Friday 20th and Saturday 21st of March, take a break, meet a friend or two for a cappuccino and help support Variety Australia and all the amazing work they do for children. It could make you a superhero in the making, just by taking time out for a Cappuccino for a Cause.

Variety - the Children's Charity works through its fundraising and volunteer efforts to help build the futures of Aussie kids in need.

Their goal is for all Australian children to attain their full potential, regardless of ability or background. With Variety's mission being to empower all Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs, to live, laugh and learn. Variety aims to double the number of grants given in 2014 to give hope, joy and a better future to thousands more Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

For the first 65,000 cappuccinos sold during the two-day event, a total amount of $1 will go to Variety*. That makes an initial donation of $65,000 by Gloria Jeans to Variety which doubles the donation made in previous years.

If over 65,000 cups of coffee are made over the two days, that would mean that enough coffee to fill 7 Olympic swimming pools has been poured and consumed. If you add to that 40c for the sale of each chocolate heart cupcake over the 20th and 21st March, hopefully the amount raised will better last year's $175,000.



You don't have to have a cappuccino. Any style of coffee is counted. Friday 20 and Saturday 21 March. It's one of the easiest ways to give something forward. No massive marathon, no 12km ocean swim or rugged mountain terrain to clammer up and over, just you visit your local Gloria Jean's Coffee House and order a cappuccino for a cause!



Visit Gloria Jeans anywhere from Dubbo to Dee Why and beyond. Woden in Canberra, Kalgoolie in the Gold Fields to Booragoon or Sorrento Key in Western Australia. In South Australia, you don't have an excuse if your in Mt Gambier or Adelaide City. Even Atherton in the far north of Queensland has a Gloria Jeans. There's not one in Noosa, but you can find one in Mooloolaba. In the Northern Territory there is one in both Darwin and Alice Springs. Launceston cannot be forgotten either in Tasmania.

Find out where your nearest Gloria Jeans is and if you still need to exercise to feel that you've achieved Superhero status, you can cycle, walk, run or jog to take part and support a worthwhile cause.
