Brew & Bid

This year’s Brew & Bid Auction features something truly special—hand-painted mugs, each one-of-a-kind and created by our students at The Way Coffee Company. Every mug represents the creativity, hard work, and unique personality of the young adults in our program. (There are some other handcrafted gifts that joined in on this campaign!)

Currently, coffee sales cover only about 30% of our operational costs. That’s why fundraisers like this are so important; they help sustain our mission by supporting essentials such as insurance, qualified instructors, and student wages. Every dollar raised directly fuels opportunity and growth for the young adults we serve.

When you place a bid, you’re not just taking home a beautiful, functional piece of art—you’re also investing in opportunities. Funds raised go directly toward supporting our instructional program, student wages, and the resources needed to continue building meaningful employment experiences for young adults with learning differences.

Mugs include a "Mug Club" membership where you will receive 25% off all drinks for a year, as well as free black coffee!

Bid generously, sip proudly, and know that your support is making a lasting difference!
