New fundraiser for Fairhaven fire victim’s family
Tony’s Coffee is hosting a fundraiser to raise funds for the family of Nate Breaux, the late owner of the Harris Avenue Cafe, who passed away during a December fire at the Fairhaven Terminal Building.
As the coffee company had a location in the historic building for over 50 years and worked with Breaux, they designed a limited-edition Tony’s Coffeehouse mug featuring artwork of the Fairhaven Terminal Building by a local illustrator, Brittany Schade.
All of the profits from the mugs will be donated to Nate Breaux’s daughter.
The mugs can be ordered online on the Tony’s Coffee website and cost $18.
