Exciting news! Ellen’s 6th Annual Holiday Giveback Campaign with Monogram Coffee Launches Dec 1st
For those not familiar with the campaign, each year Ellen writes a song with another Alberta artist and Monogram Coffee roasts a coffee named after the song. They then donate $5 from every bag sold to a local charity. Ellen’s collaborator this year is Edmonton drummer/composer Biboye Onanuga - they wrote a new song called Red & Green together. $5 from every bag of Red & Green coffee sold will go to support The Alex in Calgary and Boyle McCauley (Radius) in Edmonton & every bag comes with a free download of the song.
Coffee will be available at all 3 Calgary Monogram locations, from Breadland Organic Bakery and Brown Butter Cafe in Edmonton, or for order from www.monogramcoffee.com (ships worldwide).
Catch Ellen live at her annual holiday show with special guests on December 3 at King Eddy in Calgary. She will also be performing a few tunes with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra as a guest for their holiday concerts on Dec 2 & 3 at the Jack Singer, Dec 6 at YMCA Rocky Ridge and Dec 7 at YMCA Seton.
The Campaign Runs December 1st - December 31st, 2022
Made by Marcus has also joined the campaign for a fourth year, and has created a TBA custom ice cream inspired by Red & Green. $2 from every pint sold of this limited-edition flavour will also be going towards the campaign supporting the The Alex and Radius. This flavour will be available at all of Marcus’ shops in Calgary and Edmonton. They now deliver in Edmonton and Calgary a well!
Red & Green will also be available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, and more starting December 1st
ATB Financial will be matching each donation made from the coffee and ice cream sales! So your contributions will now be doubled. WOO HOO! New this year, ATB is also giving out $15 gift cards with the purchase of the coffee or ice cream that you can use to donate to a charity of your choice through their ATB Cares site. Amazing right?
