UPLIFT

Congratulations!

Another great reason to visit Dutch is for the smiles. Our giveback day is off to a great start. Thank you, Cheyenne, for your participation! Haven't swung by, yet? Remember, $1 from each drink you purchase is gifted to us, all day long.

This should be a great training! Make a plan now to have a device ready. "Related Services" on an IEP includes parent training and can support you. Want to know how? Send us a message.

Join this virtual training session from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. MT on Friday, November 22nd to learn tips and implementation strategies using the TouchChat communication app. Participants are encouraged to have access to the TouchChat app during the training so that they can use the app as strategies are shared. If you would like to borrow a device with the Touch Chat app, please contact WATR at [email protected]

Did you Dutch?
Be sure to plan your day to include treating yourself to one of their scrumptious drinks! That holiday menu is 🔥.

Swing by our Cheyenne shop TODAY, 11/15, to support UPLIFT Wyoming! $1 from every drink goes to help families in our community in need of emotional and behavioral support. See you there! ☕

Get your Dutch Bros fix and help us continue providing free services for our Wyoming families!

What’s up Wyoming! 🎉 Our final giveback of 2024 is happening TOMORROW, 11/15!
For every drink sold, we’ll donate $1 to UPLIFT Wyoming, a statewide organization dedicated to supporting families of children who need emotional and behavioral support.
With a powerful team-building, peer-support approach, UPLIFT Wyoming empowers families across the state to foster positive change and well-being.
Go for a Dutch Run tomorrow to support UPLIFT and their impactful work for Wyoming families!

This is why we can't have nice things.

I posted this new graphic with a great description this morning. Then, I realized the graphic had a typo so I reactively deleted the post from everywhere so I could fix the minor typo. Only to realize immediately that I lost all the copy in this post. Ugh! Hopefully, I'll circle back today to rewrite the copy.

Check out the November edition of Governor Mark Gordon's Mental Health Newsletter.

❤️ Kindness matters! How will you pass it along today? ❤️

Happy World Kindness Day! In the spirit of Fred Rogers, let’s remember that “Sometimes, all it takes is one kind word to nourish another person.” Today, let’s try to share kindness—one word at a time. Who can you uplift with a simple compliment or a caring message? Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness!

Dutch Bros philanthropic spirit has already had such a positive impact on Cheyenne non-profits with missions rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are grateful that Friday brings an opportunity for you to enjoy a tasty drink and for us to receive a treat, too! Hope you can swing by!

Don’t forget the kids who are doing the extra work.

The kids whose days don’t end with the final bell, the kids whose breaks don’t follow a school calendar.

The kids who spend their afternoons being shuttled to speech, or PT, or OT.

The kids whose schedules include services and therapies, on top of everything else.

The kids who need extra help and support.

The kids who are struggling to overcome barriers—whether physical, mental, or emotional.

The kids who don’t follow the typical schedules, hit the expected milestones, take the traditional path.

The kids who might need different strategies and tools to help them learn.

These kids are working so hard, too.

They’re tired, too, even if their successes seem smaller or maybe even completely unnoticeable to most.

There likely won’t be any awards for them at the end of the year, or special recognition for how far they’ve come.

But take it from me—they are working SO dang hard.

Don’t forget to acknowledge their efforts.

Because what might be a small hurdle on the track for most kids, could be a Herculean task for a kid who has to try 10 times harder just to make it to the starting line.

These kids might not excel in traditional ways, but there’s nothing unexceptional about them.

Because they work harder for every win, and they don’t take a single bit of it granted.

So much gratitude for those who have served. We recognize and respect the sacrifices of their families, too!
