“We are so happy to host the Coffee Crawl for a sixth time," said PRSSA President Kate Gunville. "This event is important in bringing awareness and financial support to the Women's Center. The Coffee Crawl has become a well-loved event for the community together to support an important cause while partaking in the extensive coffee culture that Marquette has. This event is put together by the students of NMU PRSSA and I am incredibly proud to be a part of a project that has developed into a successful and ongoing community event. The majority of the proceeds from the Coffee Crawl are donated to the Women's Center in Marquette.”
Several local businesses will be participating this year, including Dead River Coffee Roasters, 231 West Patisserie, Contrast Coffee, Cruisin' Coffee, Provisions MQT, Donckers, Iron Bay, Third St. Bagel, Trenary Toast Cafe, Velodrome Coffee Co. and Babycakes.
