FORT WORTH, TEXAS (November 29, 2023) – HTeaO, America’s largest iced tea franchise, concluded its 2023 partnership with the Ryan Palmer Foundation raising a total of $93,837. During the month of October, every guest had the opportunity to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar, with the donation going toward the Ryan Palmer Breast Cancer Initiative and the creation of Hope Kits. 

The Ryan Palmer Foundation was created in 2003 with the ambition of providing positive opportunities to the youth. In 2019, Palmer started the Breast Cancer Initiative after his wife’s experience with chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

The Hope kits are given to breast cancer patients who are currently undergoing treatment and are used to help boost their spirits during a difficult time. With this campaign, the leading iced tea brand also brought back its pink straws for Breast Cancer Awareness Month to further support the cause.

“Every dollar makes a difference and we can’t wait to see the impact that this donation has on the many patients undergoing treatment,” said Justin Howe, CEO of HTeaO. “We were so glad to be able to partner with Ryan again this year to raise more money during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Partnering with the foundation has been a great source of joy for everyone at HTeaO, customers, and employees alike. We look forward to continuing to work together in the years to come.”

This is the third year of this partnership with pro PGA golfer, Ryan Palmer, who has roots in Amarillo, Texas, the birthplace of HTeaO. Through his roots in the Texas panhandle, Palmer has remained close friends with HTeaO CEO Justin Howe. He has been a professional golfer since 2000, and earned his place on the PGA Tour in 2004 with four PGA Tour wins.
