The official unveiling of the new Ridebuzz Coffee - launched in collaboration with Deans Beans.

Ridebuzz.org Founder, Jeffrey D. Brown and Dean’s Beans Founder, Dean Cycon (author of Java Trekker) unveiled the new Community Supporting Ridebuzz Coffee to the world - followed by a presentation by Dean Cycon about his company’s beneficial people-centered development work in the coffee-lands at UMass Amherst.

Dean’s Beans is donating all of their profits from the sale of Ridebuzz Coffee to support Ridebuzz’s innovative non-profit rideshare initiative, which provides free online services to the community at www.ridebuzz.org.

The students attending this event will be working with Ridebuzz during the semester to take action with experiential learning projects that will make a real-world of difference by helping get the Community Supporting Ridebuzz Coffee to Market - enhancing Ridebuzz’s positive mission to provide low-cost and sustainable transportation options that help increase access to under-served communities. This next generation will be the business leaders of tomorrow, and they will witness first hand as two responsible organizations team up to address environmental, social, and economic challenges.

Students will be honing their environmentally and socially responsible business skills while working with Ridebuzz.
