COBS Bread’s Doughnation Day campaign is underway with a focus on encouraging customers to “doughnate” and help COBS Bread Big Bay Point raise $6,000 for Royal Victoria hospital’s pediatric diabetes education program.
From Feb. 1 to March 2, funds will be raised in the bakery culminating with “Doughnation Day” on March 2 where $2 from the sale of every hot cross bun six-pack will be donated to the program.
“We are raising funds for this program that helps so many youth deal with life-altering illness,” says Lisa Mitchell, owner of COBS Bread Big Bay Point. “The pediatric (diabetes) education program makes such a vital difference for these children — and we are grateful. Any contribution is appreciated.”
“Doughnations” can be added to purchases made at the bakery during the campaign window from Feb. 1 to March 2. COBS Bread Big Bay Point is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, please visit www.cobsbread.com/local-bakery/big-bay-point-barrie.
