Pink and White Cookie Sales at Doris Italian Market & Bakery to Benefit Breast Cancer Awareness

All five Doris Italian Market & Bakery locations in South Florida are once again supporting the American Cancer Society – Making Strides Against Breast Cancer this October. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, $1 from every pink and white frosted cookie sold will benefit the cause. Over the years, more than $16,000 has been raised.

"We all know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer," said John Alfano, president of Doris Italian Market & Bakery. "As a family-owned and operated local business, we take pride in supporting the communities we are part of."
