Dunkin' locations across Lubbock have started their Shine Gold initiative to raise funds for children, and customers could earn a free donut for joining the movement, according to a company news release.
From July 19-Aug. 5, customers at Lubbock stores will be asked to donate $2 to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, which helps children afflicted with illness. If they do, they will receive a Gold Joy Donut for free. This donut is "a traditional donut ring decorated with gold icing, yellow sprinkles and crowned with a glazed MUNCHKINS Donut Hole Treat." The design honors the childhood cancer awareness ribbon.
“Dunkin’ is proud to shine gold to support children battling illness right here in our communities,” said Shannon Durkin, Dunkin’ Field Marketing Manager. “Cancer has touched many of our lives, and it’s an ordeal no child or parent should face. Together with the community, we look forward to helping bring joy to kids fighting cancer.”
All funds raised through this event will be donated to local children's hospitals.
