Cinnabon Helps a Dedicated Employee Raise Funds for Personal Cause
Cinnabon Matches First $10,000 in Donations to the National Breast Cancer Foundation
(firmenpresse) - ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/20/13 -- The memorable episode of Undercover Boss where Cinnabon® President Kat Cole bonded with Mayra Vargas, a bakery employee, has impacted each of them, both personally and professionally. As Mayra spoke of her mother's battle with breast cancer and her family's challenges, the inspiration to provide guidance and support became a mission of Cole's. Cole and Vargas were invited back for the season finale, Epic Bosses, which aired this past Friday night, May 17th, when viewers were touched by their mutual admiration and Cole's announcement of "Sweet Support," a nationwide fundraiser to support breast cancer, a cause close to Mayra's heart.
Cinnabon employees, fans and followers are joining forces to spread the word and request donations as a way of showing dedication to their favorite brand. In parallel contribution, Cinnabon will match the first $10,000 in charitable donations. The money raised will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation® and its mission of saving lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and providing mammograms for women in need.
"As America saw on Undercover Boss, Mayra has an infectious go-getter attitude and enthusiasm for Cinnabon that she shares daily with Guests and co-workers," said Cole. "We're throwing the strength of the Cinnabon brand behind the fight against breast cancer, a cause incredibly dear to Mayra, as a special way to thank her for being a model employee in the Cinnabon system."
Known for offering exceptional quality and a uniquely satisfying experience, Cinnabon sought out a donation process that was easy to access and user-friendly. The cutting-edge online fundraising application Give.Mobi allows convenient access by visiting the mobile URL or scanning QR codes from materials found in local Cinnabon Bakeries.
Through Undercover Boss, Cole met many of the brand's extraordinary employees, leading to positive company-wide initiatives.
