The Seattle Seahawk’s Running back, Marshawn Lynch aka Beast Mode, went to the Starbucks’ headquarters in Seattle to help create a new Starbucks Frappuccino® blend that was created to help benefit his foundation.
During Lynch’s visit to the Seattle headquarters, you see Lynch donning a barista’s green apron while he mix a combination of flavors to build his “Beast Mode” drink.
Beast Mode is a double chocolate Frappuccino with added protein powder and some raspberry drizzle. Lynch said, “I’d drink this before a workout. You could get your buff on with this.”
Unfortunately for the Seahawks fans who live outside of Washington D.C. and Oakland, California, the Beast Mode Frappucino is only sold in Oakland and Washington for the duration of Football season.
Starbucks’ website says:
Marshawn Lynch has teamed up with Starbucks to introduce the Beast Mode™ Frappuccino® blended beverage, to be sold during the rest of the football season in Starbucks® stores in Washington state and Oakland to benefit his foundation.
This Fam 1st Family Foundation was developed in 2011 between, Lynch and Buffalo Bills’ Quarterback, Joshua Johnson. That’s what the sales of the Beast Mode Frappucino is for, to help the foundation.
The Foundation’s website says, “Fam 1st Family Foundations dedicated to uplifting and empowering youth in the Bay Area and throughout the United States. The foundation’s mission is one of empowerment and education, aiming to build self-esteem and academic learning skills in underprivileged youth.”
They also have a vision, “To provide a one stop shop, where the center’s programming will include developing workshops for vulnerable communities to promote literacy, athletic training, financial training, after school tutoring, art programs, vocational training, a media center, law and order program, and much more.”
Lynch said, “It is so important to Josh and me that these kids are able to excel in school and life against all odds.”
What is the Beast Mode Frapp? It’s Starbucks and Lynch’s collaboration to invite fans and to empower the youth through the purchase of his limited drank.
Once again, the frapp is sold only in Washington and in Oakland, but the sale starts Oct. 22nd and for every drink bought, Starbucks is donating 24 cents.
Maybe we need a collaboration for a new frapp one of the Texas teams too.
