Cinnabon honors nurses with Classic Roll giveaway
May 3, 2009
ATLANTA — Cinnabon Inc. and The Daisy Foundation are offering nurses a free Cinnabon Classic Roll when they show their healthcare ID or badge at participating bakeries May 6-12, the company has announced.
Bonnie and Mark Barnes of Glen Ellen, Calif., and their family members established The Daisy Foundation in January 2000 to recognize nurses after Mark's son, Patrick, died of complications from an auto-immune disease. During his extended hospital stay, Pat would only eat Cinnabon Classic rolls, and he insisted his care nurses have some as well.
Since its inception, the foundation has presented some 4,000 nurses in more than 350 medical facilities nationwide and in Canada with The Daisy Award, which includes Cinnabon rolls and gift certificates for each recipient and his or her colleagues to celebrate the teamwork it takes to provide outstanding patient care.
The Nurses Week promotion is limited to one free Classic roll per nurse for one-time only during the promotional period.
