Luke Rocchia believes in the power of a wish. That is why his city based business, Cultura Espresso Bar and Restaurant, will be serving free coffees to patrons all day on Wednesday 8th July, with punters asked to make a donation to Make-A-Wish Australia as a thank you.
In 2014, Hobart branch volunteer Kell Lesa approached Luke to see if he might be interested in supporting Make-A-Wish.
“I have known Luke for years and he has such a strong community spirit. I knew that he would come on board to help us raise funds to grant wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses” she said.
The first ‘Coffee for a Wish’ day back in 2014 was such a success that Luke decided he wanted to do it again.
“Last year was so much fun. We were blown away by the generosity of the people of Hobart, and their willingness to support this fantastic charity,” he said.
“We are hoping to double the amount raised last year, so I encourage everyone to come along and get your coffee and support Make-A-Wish.”
Members of the public might also see some super heroes in the streets nearby, collecting donations on the day. Heroes for Kids are a great supporter of Make-A-Wish Hobart and have kindly leant their support to this initiative.
‘Coffee for a Wish’ day will be held on Wednesday 8th July at Cultura Espresso Bar and Restaurant, 123 Liverpool Street. Coffee will be available all day, starting at 7.30am.
