Panera Bread Supports Breast Care at Northside Hospital

The company presented a check to Northside Hospital for breast cancer research recently.

In October, once again invited its customers to join them in the fight against breast cancer by purchasing its signature Pink Ribbon Bagels. 

Panera recently presented a $4,102.80 check to Northside Hospital Breast Care Program following the sale of more than 41,000 bagels. 

"Our Breast Care Program is so grateful and fortunate to have the ongoing support of local businesses like Panera Bread," said Patti Owen, director of oncology services, Northside Hospital. "This money will go directly to supporting further education, treatment and research for our breast cancer patients."

The Panera Pink Ribbon Bagel follows the tradition of "thinking pink" in the quest to eradicate breast cancer disease. Shaped like a pink ribbon and baked fresh daily at Panera Bread bakery-cafes in October, the bagel features cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar. Ten cents of every bagel and one dollar of every "Power of Pink" Baker’s Dozen sold at the 20 Atlanta-area participating stores was donated to Northside’s Breast Care Program to provide more education and support services to the hospital’s breast cancer patients.

Throughout the country, Panera Bread contributes to a variety of breast cancer causes.
