THANK YOU! Last week, our and dearest supporters joined the rest of the world by participating in , an annual day of charitable giving that celebrates generosity, raises awareness, and creates engagement between citizens and nonprofits everywhere.

Together, they gave $17,000 to the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, lifting us to 85% of our goal of $20,000 – the equivalent of a Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship.

If we raised $17,000 within one day, imagine what we can do together before the end of the year!

From now through December 31st, we will continue the spirit of giving with our Year-End Giving Campaign. Cokeurl.com/RefreshTheGift

In honor of the founding gift that former Coca-Cola Bottling UNITED President and CEO, Crawford T. Johnson III, and former Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, Roberto C. Goizueta, announced on May 8, 1986 to create the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, we ask you to consider making a one-time gift or even starting a recurring gift that will help us achieve our goal as well as support the wraparound services, programs, and initiatives provided to Coke Scholars.

In the same way you choose to refresh the world every day, choose to refresh the gift that was given years ago so we could be where we are today.

Today is ! We are 25% of the way to raising $20,000 in honor of the founding gift that created the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.

Will you help us get to 100%? --> Cokeurl.com/RefreshtheGift

On May 8, 1986, Crawford T. Johnson, III, and Roberto C. Goizueta brought together Coca-Cola Bottlers across the country and The Coca-Cola Company to create the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. They believed this Foundation would house the next generation of visionary leaders destined to shape the future of our nation. Since then, their belief has become a reality. Now, 38 years later, over 6,900 have changed the landscape of business, education, healthcare, entertainment, law, science, and so much more.

This Giving Tuesday, we hope you will Refresh the Gift and embody the same belief that others first had in us many years ago - the belief that the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, its Scholars, and supporters will lead the way to a better future for us all for years to come!

Support CCSF on ! | Today, we’re excited to kick off our 2024 Giving Tuesday Campaign, in which we’ve set a goal to have as many Coke Scholars as possible participate!

On Tuesday, December 3rd, we invite you to pay tribute to the founding gift that former Coca-Cola Bottling United President and CEO, Crawford T. Johnson III, and former Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, Roberto C. Goizueta, announced on May 8, 1986, creating the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.

In one week, as millions of people take part in the global generosity movement that is Giving Tuesday, we’re calling on our community of Scholars and supporters to help raise $20,000 – the equivalent of a Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship – to support the wraparound services, programs, and initiatives provided to Coke Scholars.

Your donation on Giving Tuesday will “Refresh the Gift” - paying homage to the spirit of philanthropy that has changed the lives of over 6,900 Scholars to date with countless more lives to be changed for many more years to come.

Will you help us refresh the gift that started it all?

No need to wait until Giving Tuesday – make your gift today at Cokeurl.com/RefreshTheGift!
