Fadó Irish Pub is Drinking Irish Coffee to Support Childhood Cancer Research

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout the month of January, Fadó Irish Pubs will kick off the fundraising season by drinking Irish coffees and raising awareness about the St. Baldrick's Foundation, the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants. From Jan. 1 - 31, for every Irish coffee sold, $1 will be donated to St. Baldrick's to fund the most promising childhood cancer research. In addition, during the same dates, if Fadó customers post a picture of their Irish coffee on Instagram with the hashtag #fuelthecure2019, Fadó will donate another $1.

As St. Baldrick's signature head-shaving events are confirmed and shavees begin the rally for donations, Fadó, which hosts multiple St. Baldrick's head-shaving events throughout March, will use National Irish Coffee Day on January 25, to highlight the start of the St. Patrick's Day season. January 25 is on a Friday this year, so there is no better excuse to drink Irish coffees at Fadó and learn how you can support a wonderful cause. Hundreds of volunteers will go bald at March events across the country to stand in solidarity with kids with cancer and raise money for lifesaving childhood cancer research.

For 18 years, Fadó Irish Pubs have raised over $10 million and holds a record within the Foundation among participating restaurants, having raised the most of any other restaurant involved.

This year, St. Baldrick's head-shaving events will be held at the following locations:

    --  Fadó Irish Pub, 273 Buckhead Ave, Atlanta, GA 30305
