Rutgers Cancer Institute/Panera Bread Pink Ribbon Bagel™
Supporting breast cancer efforts at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in New Brunswick can be as simple as picking up a tasty treat at your local Panera Bread® bakery-cafe during the month of October.
Shaped in the form of the pink ribbon, the Pink Ribbon Bagel features cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey, and brown sugar, and is baked fresh each morning by Panera’s bakers at each participating bakery-cafe.
For every Pink Ribbon Bagel sold in the participating Panera Bread locations in northern and central New Jersey (panerabread.com), 10 cents will support breast cancer research and patient education programs at the Cancer Institute.
