WARREN, Ohio – Covelli Enterprises, the largest franchisee of Panera Bread, is partnering with Potential Development for the Blooms of Hope for Autism campaign in recognition of Autism Awareness Month.
From April 7-13, Panera will donate to Potential Development $1 from each of its shortbread tulip cookies sold at its seven participating locations in the Mahoning Valley.
The tulip cookies, which are decorated with pink, yellow and green icing for spring, can be purchased at the Panera locations, online HERE or on the Panera app for pickup and delivery.
Danielle Covelli, marketing director at Covelli Enterprises, said the school does incredible work to empower students to reach their full potential in a state-of-the-art environment.
“We look forward to the launch of this year’s Blooms of Hope and are thankful to our generous community that supports our campaign each and every year,” she said.
Potential Development will also benefit this month from Panera’s Operation Dough-Nation program, which allows customers to make monetary donations in boxes located at the registers in Panera bakery-cafes.
“For over nine years, Potential Development has proudly partnered with Covelli Enterprises through the Blooms of Hope for Autism campaign at Panera Bread,” said Paul Garchar, CEO of Potential Development. “Their commitment to our school and community has been instrumental in raising autism awareness and providing essential support for our students.”
