You may know Josh Cordell, long-time local who writes the Central Oregon Athlete blog; well Backporch Coffee is holding a fundraiser for him and his family tomorrow and here’s why:

If you are a Bendite, you are probably familiar with Josh Cordell. Josh Cordell, a long time Bend resident, and his wife Emily brought a child into this world at the very premature age of 26 weeks. Baby Brynlee has been a fighter and is doing well in the Bend St. Charles ICU. Bend, being the strong community that it is, is rallying to help foot some of the bill for Brynlee’s care. This Friday (Oct. 25) at both locations we are donating 100% of all coffee drink sales to their cause. We will also be accepting donations on top of drink sales to present to this family. Make sure to drop by this Friday, enjoy a beverage or more and let’s help this great family out a little!

Backporch’s two locations are 1052 NW Newport Avenue, and 70 SW Century Drive behind US Bank. Make sure to head over there tomorrow and help Josh out with some coffee!
