Castaway Coffee Partners with Florida Panthers to Fuel Hockey Fans

Sunrise, FL -Castaway Coffee is proud to announce a new partnership with the Florida Panthers, as the official coffee partner of the team. This partnership will bring Castaway Coffee's high-quality, small-batch coffee to the Amerant Bank Arena, as well as Baptist Health IcePlex, War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale and Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs.

 

Castaway Coffee will have a fully branded coffee kiosk at the Amerant Bank Arena, serving a variety of specialty coffee drinks, including lattes, hot chocolate, and cold brew. Additionally, Castaway Coffee and the Panthers will launch a co-branded retail bag, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Alliance for Florida's National Parks.

The Alliance for Florida's National Parks is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving Florida's national parks, including Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and Dry Tortugas National Park.  "We are excited to partner with the Florida Panthers and support the important work of The Alliance for Florida's National Parks," said Castaway Coffee Co-Founder and Conservation Coordinator, Laura Sixto. "Castaway Coffee is committed to doing what we can to help protect our oceans, waterways and habitats.”

A portion of the proceeds from the “Panther’s Blend” bags will raise essential funds for the Florida Panther research program within Big Cypress National Preserve. The Florida Panther faces multiple threats, including vehicle strikes, disease, and dwindling food sources due to the increasing python population. Thomas Forsyth, superintendent of Big Cypress National Preserve, says, “We at Big Cypress National Preserve are always honored by the support our communities and visitors give us. Supporting our panther research will help us better understand the health of this community of endangered animals that are iconic to South Florida.”

The co-branded retail bag will be available for purchase at local retail stores, online, and at the Castaway Coffee shop in Amerant Bank Arena.
