Dunkin’ today announced that the 2023 edition of its annual Star Donut charitable campaign raised $81,204 for Make-A-Wish Central New York. This is the 11th consecutive year of the campaign.
From Sept. 1 through Sept. 12, guests who donated $1 to Make-A-Wish at participating Dunkin’ restaurants in the Southern Tier received a special Make-A-Wish Star Donut as a thank you for their generosity. The Star Donut campaign has raised more than $825,000 for local Make-A-Wish chapters throughout upstate New York since its inception in 2013.
“Dunkin’ is honored to support Make-A-Wish Central New York through our annual Star Donut campaign,” said Dunkin’ Field Marketing Manager Levi Pascher. “Make-A-Wish is so important to the children and families in our community, and we were pleased to provide Southern Tier residents with a special treat in support of such a great cause. We would like to thank all of our valued guests who joined us to make this year’s Star Donut campaign such a success.”
“We are beyond grateful for the 11-year Star Donut campaign and our relationship with Southern Tier Dunkin’ franchise owners,” said Make-A-Wish Central New York President and CEO Diane Kuppermann. “They and their generous patrons make wishes come true for critically ill children in our 15-county footprint. There is no greater joy than knowing you’ve put a smile on the faces and given hope to these kids and their families. Together, we are creating life-changing wish experiences. Wishes run on Dunkin’!”
Make-A-Wish Central New York creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses throughout a 15-county region of New York State.
