North Shore Restaurants to Offer Special Desserts as Part of Boston Bakes For Breast Cancer

Bakers in Boston, the North Shore and other Massachusetts communities are mixing it up again (no pun intended!) at restaurants for the 16th Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer.

Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer takes place every year starting the Monday before Mother’s Day and running through Mother’s Day. Visit a participating establishment from May 4 to May 10 and order the Boston Bakes Dessert to help us raise money to find a cure. Can’t make it to one of our participating locations? Shop and have desserts shipped to you during the week of Boston Bakes, according to the organization’s website.

Money raised from Boston Bakes is shared with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (80 percent) for breast cancer research and the 501(c)3 nonprofit, Bakes for Breast Cancer (20%). Boston Bakes raises close to $80,000 a year, thanks to the sales of 11,000 desserts.

Every Serenitee Restaurant - including Beverly’s Hale Street - will be creating their own dessert for the event, and 100% of the sales from that dessert will go directly to Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer.

Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer will be held from May 4 to May 10.

To participate, all guests have to do is come to one of the Serenitee Group Restaurants (or other participating restaurants) and order the dessert. Its that simple.

​Last year, Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer had almost 350 participants in over 100 Massachusetts communities and raised over $78,000. Organizers hope to raise even more money this year.
