Hemophilia of Georgia To Recognize Dunkin Donuts For Supporting Causes

Atlanta, GA – March 23, 2015 – The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation (DDBRCF) announced today that it will receive the Outstanding Partner of the Year award during Hemophilia of Georgia’s Appreciation Reception.

The Outstanding Partner of the Year award exemplifies a supporter who, through significant contributions, has supported the overall mission and success of the organization. Hemophilia of Georgia’s annual Appreciation Reception will take place at the Villa Christina in Atlanta on Tuesday, March 24th.

For the past two years, The DDBRCF has supported Hemophilia of Georgia’s “Camp Wannaklot,” helping to fund educational programming, materials and supplies for children 7 to 17 years old. Camp Wannaklot is Georgia’s only camp program for children with hemophilia and related bleeding disorders. For several years, local Dunkin’ Donuts franchises have also supported Hemophilia of Georgia’s “Trot to Clot Walk and Run” fundraising events by providing volunteers, and coffee and donuts for participants.

“We are grateful for the support from The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation. Not only are they helping us fulfill our mission to provide support to Georgians with inherited bleeding disorders, but they are ensuring that kids receive a once-in-a-lifetime camp experience” said Kirstin Downie, Hemophilia of Georgia’s Director of Development.

According to Kristi Strickland, Dunkin’ Brands Field Marketing Director and Co-Chair of The DDBRCF’s Southeast Chapter, “Dunkin’ Brands and its franchisees are committed to serving the basic needs of our communities throughout the country, each and every day. We’re proud to support Hemophilia of Georgia and the important work they do to improve children’s health in the community.”
