A Bagel to Build a Wish On

060608_bagels.jpgDo you love bagels? And saving money? And helping sick kids? Of course you do! So read on...

Beginning today, June 6th, and running through this Sunday, June 8th, you can get a hot, toasty bagel and a shmear (that's fancy bagel-talk for cream cheese or butter) at Einstein Bros. Bagels for only $0.99! Your bagel and shmear would normally cost $2.49, but Einstein is hoping that you and your fellow customers will donate the difference of $1.50 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. All customer donations received in Einstein Bros. stores from Friday to Sunday will go to benefit the Foundation, which grants wishes to terminally-ill children and life-threatening medical conditions.

Einstein Bros. is hoping to raise $500,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation over the course of the weekend. Anything raised up to this amount will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the bagel boys. Donations aren't required to get your delicious bagel, but are certainly appreciated. So get out there tomorrow morning, buy a $0.99 bagel and help out a worthwhile cause.
