From March 26th – April 8th participating Panera Bread bakery-cafes will donate 10 cents to Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Illinois for every Easter Egg cookie sold for $2.25 a piece. These Easter Egg shaped sugar cookies make a great spring gift or Easter basket treat—and it’s for a great cause! Kick off the spring season this year with the cookie that “dough-nates”!

Panera Bread has adopted 20 wish children for 2012 and is looking to raise $100,000 to grant all 20 wishes. In 2011, Panera Bread raised $166,321 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Illinois, enough for 33 wishes which exceeded our goal of granting 20 wishes.
