The Autism Society of the Emerald Coast, a part of the Autism Society of America, were the June recipients of the Costa family McDonald’s McCafe with a Cause program.
This initiative was designed and developed by Costa Enterprises, owners of twenty-one McDonalds in Northwest Florida. At all their McDonald’s restaurants, 50% of the McCafe coffee proceeds every Monday during the month resulted in a $1,500 donation to the Autism Society.
The Autism Society supports individuals with autism and their families through numerous opportunities that are funded by donations and grants.
As well, the non-profit organization offers specialized training programs to area first responders and teachers to familiarize them with how to best work with those with autism.

“On every Monday throughout the year, customers can purchase any size McCafe coffee, hot or iced, of our 100% Arabica Bean fresh-brewed coffee, and 50% of these proceeds will benefit a charity each month in Northwest Florida,” David Costa, Sr., CEO of Costa Enterprises, said.
The July program benefits the Boys & Girls Club of Northwest Florida, and August will benefit the Taylor Haugen Foundation.
