Scooter’s Coffee hosts “Day of Giving for Young Williams Animal Center”

Fundraising is underway for the Young Williams Animal Center, presented by Knoxville’s locally owned Scooter’s Coffee locations. On August 24, Scooter’s Coffee will be hosting a Day of Giving! 25% of all proceeds will be donated to Young-Williams, whose vision is a “home for every pet.” In addition to donating the proceeds, each of the Knoxville Scooter’s Coffee locations will host an Adoption Day on their sites on August 24th from 9am - 1pm. The donations will benefit over 11,000 animals that Young Willams takes in each year.

“It’s incredible to see the love our customers have for their amazing pets. It's evident each time a customer visits our drive-thrus with their adorable dogs, cats, monkeys, goats, rabbits and more. We have provided thousands of smiles and pup cups to these wonderful friends. We are looking forward to donating 25% of our proceeds to help spread the love to these animals through Young-WIlliams” said Emily Harris, co-owner of the Scooter’s Coffee in West Hills.

“We would love for customers and their pets to visit any of the Knoxville area Scooter’s locations on August 24, from 9-1 for fun treats, prizes, and the opportunity to see and learn about adorable pets that need loving homes.” said Stacey Gering, co-owner of the Farragut location.

"We are so thankful for our community partners like Scooter's Coffee! Their generosity will help care for countless shelter pets waiting for their forever home. We hope everyone will come out and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, enjoy some snuggles from a shelter pet, and feel good about giving back!” said Amber Mullins, Stewardship Manager at Young Williams.
