This October, Panera Bread is inviting its customers to join in the fight against breast cancer with its signature Pink Ribbon Bagels.

The Panera Pink Ribbon Bagel will be sold in Puget Sound-area bakery-cafes during the month of October, with a portion of the proceeds from each Pink Ribbon Bagel sold supporting a variety of breast cancer causes nationwide, including the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Breast Cancer Network of Strength and various local charities and hospitals.

The Pink Ribbon Bagel is baked fresh daily at Panera Bread bakery-cafes and features cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar, and is formed in the shape of the celebrated pink ribbon. The product follows the tradition of ‘thinking pink’ during the month of October in the quest to eradicate breast cancer disease.

Panera operates a bake shop at Kent Station, 521 Second Place N.,Suite 101, Kent. Call 253-854-1711 or visit www.panerabread.com.
