Dunkin’ Donuts ‘sweet fundraiser’ to benefit Special Olympics of RI

Posted

Dunkin’ Donuts will hold a sweet fundraiser for Special Olympics Rhode Island and Special Olympics Massachusetts South Section, including the release of a special edition Special Olympics Star donut to benefit the organization.

From Sept. 8 through Sept.15, 25 cents for every individual donut sold at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Rhode Island and Bristol County, Mass. – including the new Special Olympics Star donut – will be donated to Special Olympics to help support its mission to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

“For more than 25 years, our partnership with the Special Olympics has grown. We continue to be inspired by the courage, dedication, and spirit of each Special Olympic athlete,” said Joe Prazeres, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee and member of the Special Olympics Rhode Island Hall of Fame. “We are equally amazed by the support of our loyal guests as we work to raise funds for this wonderful organization each year, and we hope it continues through this promotion.”

“Dunkin’ Donuts demonstrates how seriously its franchisees take their role in supporting non-profit agencies statewide,” said Dennis DeJesus, CEO of Special Olympics Rhode Island. “It is a model for other corporate partners as it continues to be a shining example of its unwavering commitment to their mission and vision of reaching out to help those in need in our state. As we strive to gain acceptance, inclusion and respect for people with intellectual disabilities, we are proud and honored to partner with Dunkin’ Donuts, who continues to provide inspiration, encouragement and support of our athletes. Thank you Dunkin’ Donuts!”
