‘Earn Dough While You Eat’ at Panera Bread® to Support the Efforts of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society®
(Long Island, NY) On Thursday, June 11th, supporters of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) of Long Island can earn extra money for the cause just by eating dinner at any of the 18 Panera Bread bakery-cafes on Long Island. The program, “Earn Dough While You Eat,” is Panera’s way of giving back to the community. Diners who visit any Long Island Panera between 4PM and 9PM on June 11th and present the flyer, when ordering, will earn 10% of their diner ticket for LLS.
“Our ‘Earn Dough While You Eat’ program can benefit any organization from the local Little League or fire department to large support groups like LLS,” says Greg George, Vice President of Panera Bread. “On June 11th, we’ll be helping the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society raise monies to fund its work helping those patients and families who are battling leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.”
