Roast House + Climb for the Cure
Honoring Deborah Di Bernardo: A Legacy of Passion, Purpose, and the Race to End Cancer
In the world of coffee, some names stand out not just for their exceptional craft, but for the heart and soul they pour into every cup. Deborah Di Bernardo was one of those names. As the founder and owner of Roast House Coffee in Spokane, Deborah built more than a coffee roastery—she built a community, a movement, and a mission-driven brand dedicated to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and exceptional quality.
Sadly, Deborah recently lost her battle with cancer, leaving behind a profound legacy that will continue to inspire those who knew her, those who tasted her coffee, and those who were touched by her unwavering commitment to doing good.
A Legacy Brewed in Purpose
From the beginning, Roast House Coffee was never just about coffee for Deborah—it was about impact. With a relentless focus on sustainability, she ensured that every bean sourced by Roast House was organic, ethically traded, and cultivated with care for both the environment and the farmers. Her vision extended beyond business; she championed causes close to her heart, using Roast House as a platform for advocacy, community building, and change.
One of the many things that set Deborah apart was her deep connection to people. Whether it was through her passion for cycling, her dedication to environmental sustainability, or her fight for equity in the coffee industry, she approached everything with authenticity and purpose. That same energy and drive made her a fierce advocate for those battling cancer—a fight she, unfortunately, came to know all too well.
Roast House Coffee Joins the Race to End Cancer
In honor of Deborah’s legacy and in recognition of the millions affected by cancer, Roast House Coffee is proud to partner with Climb for the Cure in our shared mission: to fund cancer research and fight for a future free from this disease.
Climb for the Cure is not just a bike race—it’s a movement. A movement powered by passion, resilience, and a collective determination to make a difference. Deborah’s love for cycling, her indomitable spirit, and her relentless pursuit of a better world make this partnership especially meaningful. Through our collaboration, we aim to honor her memory and continue her fight, one pedal stroke at a time.
