Smilow Cancer Hospital and Panera Bread begin breast cancer awareness month with bagel extravaganza
Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven and Panera Bread teamed up to kick-off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a pink bagel baking celebration on Friday, Oct. 1.
Breast cancer patients and survivors, as well as Smilow Breast Center staff, joined the Panera staff in baking special pink bagels shaped like the breast cancer awareness ribbon. In addition, the YNHH mammovan was on site.
Yale-New Haven Hospital is the beneficiary of Panera's Operation Dough-Nation fundraising program. As part of this program, Panera Bread will be selling pink ribbon bagels in each of their 11 cafés (Brookfield, Darien, Hamden, Meriden, Milford, Newtown, North Haven, Norwalk, Shelton, Torrington, Trumbull and Waterbury). Twenty-five cents from every pink ribbon bagel purchased throughout the month of October will be donated to the Breast Center at Smilow Cancer Hospital.
