An effort between St. Rita’s Medical Center and Panera Bread is going to help those potentially affected by breast cancer.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Panera Bread will be donating 10 percent of the money raised from the sale of pink bagels at its Lima stores through the end of October.
On Thursday, Panera donated 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the pink bagels to the Sherry Halker Fund at St. Rita’s.
Halker died suddenly of an aneurysm but was a Breast Care Manager at the hospital.
On Wednesday of next week Panera Bread will be delivering nearly three thousand pink bagels to St. Rita’s for those that pre-ordered them this week.
