Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation

Support CCSF on #GivingTuesday! | Today, we’re excited to kick off our 2024 Giving Tuesday Campaign, in which we’ve set a goal to have as many Coke Scholars as possible participate! On Tuesday, December 3rd, we invite you to pay tribute to the founding gift that former Coca-Cola Bottling United President and CEO, Crawford T. Johnson III, and former Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, Roberto C. Goizueta, announced on May 8, 1986, creating the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. In one week, as millions of people take part in the global generosity movement that is Giving Tuesday, we’re calling on our community of Scholars and supporters to help raise $20,000 – the equivalent of a Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship – to support the wraparound services, programs, and initiatives provided to Coke Scholars. Your donation on Giving Tuesday will “Refresh the Gift” - paying homage to the spirit of philanthropy that has changed the lives of over 6,900 Scholars to date with countless more lives to be changed for many more years to come. Will you help us refresh the gift that started it all? No need to wait until Giving Tuesday – make your gift today at Cokeurl.com/RefreshTheGift! #CokeScholars #GivingTuesday #RefreshTheGift
