Panera Bread is inviting its customers to join in the fight against breast cancer by eating a bagel for breakfast during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Paneras signature pink ribbon bagels will be sold in the Wooster area bakery-cafe during the month of October. Panera Bread is proud to donate 20 cents from each pink ribbon bagel sold to the Wooster Community Hospital Fund to support education, awareness and support for breast cancer programs locally.
The Panera pink ribbon bagel is baked fresh daily at Panera Bread bakery-cafes and features cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar. The product follows the tradition of thinking pink during the month of October in the quest to eradicate breast cancer disease. Sue Stees, one of Panera Breads first franchisees and a breast cancer survivor, developed the idea for the pink ribbon bagel in 2001 as a way to help support the cause.
Panera Bread is committed to serving the members of the local community, many of whom have had their lives touched by breast cancer, said Brian Campbell, marketing director We are honored to support the Wooster Community Hospital in helping to assist community members affected by this disease and to move closer to finding a cure.
