WISH UPON A DOUGHNUT
Have a doughnut and help make a dream come true for a sick child.
Hawaii’s five Dunkin’ stores are selling glazed doughnuts capped with the Make-A-Wish Hawaii emblem in sugar paper, with all proceeds going to the charity. The doughnuts sell for $2 and will be available through Dec. 15. The campaign has a goal of raising $10,000.
Customers may also make cash donations in the shops.
Make-A-Wish grants requests from children fighting critical illnesses.
