Not to be ungrateful or anything, but I have to say that I'm not impressed.
Based on a quick google search for "how many cups of coffee does Starbucks sell in one day", this company sells approximately 5 millions cups daily.
If they're going to donate a puny nickel for every cup that they sell (anywhere between $4.25 and $7.00 each) then their donation will be about $250,000.
Something is something, but they could and should do better than that.
