Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer
2009 date to be determined
Treat your mom to a delicious week of desserts for Mother's Day. The 10th annual Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer is a sweet way to help battle breast cancer while treating the special women in our lives.
Over the years, Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer has evolved and grown into one of the sweetest weeks Boston and the Greater Boston area has experienced. Teaming up with restaurants, bakeries, and cafes across the region, Boston Bakes offers the opportunity to enjoy a delectable dessert, and support breast cancer research and care at the same time. Participating establishments dedicate one dessert off their menu for the week and direct 100 percent of proceeds from the sales of that dessert to breast cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
In 2007, Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer raised more than $40,000. In 2008, with the help of our participating establishments and their dessert-loving guests, we hope to break the quarter million mark of funds raised through Boston Bakes.
Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer began in 2000 by Carol Brownman Sneider to pay tribute to her mother, Eva Brownman, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1973 at age 44.
