Starting Monday, Gaslight and Kings join in effort by offering portion of desert proceeds to Bakes For Breast Cancer.
Treat the special women in your life to decadent desserts while also helping fight breast cancer during Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer from May 8 through Mother’s Day on May 14. Restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, cafés, and ice cream shops throughout Massachusetts will participate in Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer, including Gaslight and Kings in Lynnfield.
Establishments have the option to designate all sales of one specific dessert or fifty-percent of proceeds from
their entire dessert menu to support breast cancer care and research. Proceeds raised will benefit the nonprofit breast cancer organization Bakes for Breast Cancer.
This year, we will be supporting the research of Dr. Shom Goel at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Goel’s research focuses on focuses on combining immunotherapy and a promising new class of drugs called CDK4/6 inhibitors to more effectively treat breast cancer.
Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer was founded in 2000 by Carol Brownman Sneider in memory of her mother, Eva Brownman, who lost her battle with breast cancer. Since its inception the event has raised more than $1,000,000. The 18th Annual Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer is dedicated to the memory of Karen Gerry. Karen was the mother of our participants Daniel & Daniella Mammola of Pellana Steakhouse in Peabody and Daniella’s Café & Market in Danvers.
