Dunkin’ Donuts customers in New England donate $467k to the One Fund Boston
Dunkin’ Donuts, the Canton-based coffee-and-baked-goods chain, said that its New England customers have donated $467,884.61 to The One Fund Boston to help the people most affected by the Boston Marathon bombings.
More than 2,000 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Upstate New York, and Maine collected donations from customers from April 22 – 28, the chain said in a press release.
In addition to the week-long Dunkin’ Donuts in-store fundraising campaign, Dunkin’ Brands, the parent company of Dunkin’ Donuts, and the Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation together donated an additional $200,000 to The One Fund Boston.
‘‘We are grateful to our franchisees, employees, and guests who came together to support The One Fund Boston,’’ Nigel Travis, chief executive of Dunkin’ Brands, said in a statement. ‘‘Our thoughts continue to be with all those who were affected by the heartbreaking events that occurred on April 15.’’
