Pink Ribbon Bagels: A Life-saving effort

Buy a bagel, help a woman get a life-saving mammogram - free.
During October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Panera Bread restaurants in the Tulsa area are selling Pink Ribbon Bagels. Sue Stees, one of the owners of Panera Bread, came up with the idea.
"I'm a 26 year survivor," said Sue Stees. "If I had heard that terrifying news and then couldn't afford to pay for any treatment that would have been devastating. We want to raise money for Tulsa Project Woman so more women and men in our community can get treatment if they need it."
This is the tenth year Stees' bakery-cafes are offering the Pink Ribbon Bagels. On October 1, "Go Pink at Panera" day, all of the proceeds from the Pink Ribbon Bagels will go directly to Tulsa Project Woman, a non-profit agency that provides breast health education, no cost mammography, diagnostic procedures and surgical services for women in need.

"The rest of the days of October, 25-cents of every bagel goes to Tulsa Project Women," Sue Stees added.

According to a news release from Panera, Dr. Tom and Sue Stees of Tulsa and Dr. Stees' sister, Gaynell Magers, and her husband, Jim, of Springfield, Missouri own and operate 18 Panera Bread restaurants in the greater Tulsa area, Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

All Panera Bread bakery-cafes are open seven days a week.
