SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- There is nothing like a hot cup of coffee when you wake up in the morning and MC Companies residential apartment brand MC Life is helping residents start their day with a caffeine buzz. "Coffee for a Cause" is a brand new initiative that provides residents with fresh coffee and breakfast pastries in the morning. This new initiative comes on the heels of our #CFShoeSelfie movement which we started to raise support and awareness about cystic fibrosis.  Our goal is to engage with our residents in a friendly way while giving them the tools and information they need to make a difference.

Every Tuesday morning until the Great Strides Tucson event on March 29, 2015 we will be holding "Coffee for a Cause" at each of our Tucson properties. The coffee will be from local coffee shop, Coffee Times, and Mimi's Cafe has agreed to donate muffins as a morning treat for residents. Residents can stop by for a cup of coffee, muffin and a warm reception from MC staff.

"Conversations often happen over coffee and in that tradition we want to speak with our residents about a great cause while providing them with a dose of caffeine in the morning. It is an approachable way to speak to people about the Great Strides Tucson Walk and the fight against cystic fibrosis," says Eric Brown, Vice President of Marketing. "We also have the opportunity to work with local businesses and that is positive for the whole community."

We are sharing the good life with the Coffee for a Cause initiative and hope residents join us on Tuesday mornings. Along with enjoying a hot cup of coffee, we invite our residents to be part of the #CFShoeSelfie movement. We ask residents to spread the word to their friends, family and coworkers by posting their own #CFShoeSelfie on social media. It doesn't matter what kind of shoe you're wearing, where you are or what you're doing - just post a photo of your shoes with #CFShoeSelfie to show your support.

If you can't make it to one of our Coffee for a Cause mornings, you can learn more about our team, join or make a donation, here: http://bit.ly/17nvIOZ. Anything you can do is a big help and will make an impact on the lives of those living with cystic fibrosis. We aim to get people excited about Great Strides Tucson and hope more people will join us in the fight.

"Coffee for a Cause" began on February 17, 2015 at The Place at Creekside to glowing support from residents. We will be holding "Coffee for a Cause" at our other Tucson properties: The Place at Edgewood, The Place at Tierra Rica, The Place at Savanna Springs, The Place at Village of the Foothills, The Place at Canyon Ridge and The Place at Rock Ridge throughout February and March. We hope you stop by one morning for a caffeine buzz and a good cause.
