NORFOLK – Coffee drinkers can help fund research and help children fighting cancer.

The effort to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the brainchild of attorney Pete Decker and the folks at Norfolk Coffee and Tea.

"It costs a million dollars a day to operate the hospital because we have 110 scientists from all over the world trying to find cures for still incurable and catastrophic diseases," Decker said.

Norfolk Coffee and Tea brewed up a special blend – Uncle Pete’s World Famous Gourmet Coffee.

Buy some and $1.00 is donated to St. Jude.

"It’s a signature product. We feel it has Uncle Pete’s personality and mind. It is very bold. It is prestigious," says Nick Stephanitsis.

You can purchase the coffee at the shop, which is located off Monticello Avenue at 18th Street, and at local stores.  You can also call Norfolk Coffee and tea at 757-622-3950.
