LAUGHING MAN® COFFEE EMPOWERS FANS TO “DONATE A SMILE” THIS GIVING TUESDAY

BOSTON (November 26, 2019) – Calling all smiles! This Giving Tuesday, Hugh Jackman’s Laughing Man® Coffee is making every cup (and smile) count by encouraging fans to simply smile to make a difference. For every smiling selfie shared using the Laughing Man® Coffee filter on Instagram Stories on December 3, 2019, $1.00 will be donated toward the Laughing Man Foundation, up to $100,000. 

The brand, founded by actor Hugh Jackman, continuously strives to promote its mission to make the world a better place, starting with its local community – the farmers in coffee regions across the globe – by donating a portion of sales from each purchase directly to the Laughing Man Foundation.

“Every person has the power to make a difference,” said Sarah Sperling, Brand Manager of Laughing Man® Coffee brand. “Our fans already ‘Make Every Cup Count™’ by choosing Laughing Man® Coffee, and now we are asking our fans to help spread the word this Giving Tuesday – through their smiles.”

To participate in Giving Tuesday with the brand, Instagram users can take a photo or video of themselves using the Laughing Man® Coffee (@LaughingManCoffee) Instagram filter. Upon sharing the filter in use, $1.00 will be donated to the Laughing Man Foundation.

Laughing Man® Coffee was founded in 2011 by Hugh Jackman following a trip to Ethiopia where he met a young coffee farmer named Dukale. Inspired by his perseverance and unwavering optimism, Jackman launched Laughing Man® Coffee to help improve the lives of coffee farmers, like Dukale. All Laughing Man® Coffee is Fair Trade Certified™, and a portion of sales directly support Jackman's Laughing Man Foundation to make a positive impact on coffee farming communities and deploy programs that clear the way to health, growth and success for coffee farmers and their families.
