Former Australian cricketer Nathan Bracken, Channel 7 TV beauty Karen Ledbury, former pro surfer and model Laura Andon last week launched Cappuccino for a Cause, an annual fundraising event by Gloria Jean's Coffees' global foundation, With Heart, to raise $150,000 for Variety, the children's charity.

On Friday 28th and Saturday 29th October, Gloria Jean's coffee houses across Australia will donate 50 cents from every cappuccino sold, to Australia's most loved charity that helps to empower children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.
