Making a Difference: Dunkin’ Donuts
America runs on Dunkin’. Susan G. Komen runs on the generosity of the community. In one lane, you’ve got America’s favorite stop for coffee and tasty baked goodies. In the other, you’ve got the global leader of the breast cancer movement. At the March 16th grand opening of Dunkin’ Donuts’ 14th Southern Nevada location, Dunkin’ lovers discovered what truly sweet things happen when the two run right into each other.
Starting with a 7:30 a.m. dash, Dunkin’ joined the race against breast cancer by selling special pink frosted donuts in honor of the upcoming Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, which will be held on May 7th. In addition to selling the heavenly pink pastries, the location also collected donations for the event, and representatives were on hand to register interested patrons.
“As we gear up to expand further in Southern Nevada, we are always pleased to show our commitment and support to local charitable endeavors,” said Bert Hayenga, Chief Executive Officer of First Cup, a local franchise group for Dunkin’ Donuts. “The Susan G. Komen foundation is an example of one such organization that has brought a lot of awareness and strength to our community members.” As if we needed another reason to indulge in some Dunkin’!
