Cinnabon to reward nurses with free Classic Rolls
April 29, 2010
In appreciation of the extraordinary service nurses provide daily, Cinnabon and The DAISY Foundation are celebrating National Nurses Week by offering these professionals a free Cinnabon Classic Roll when they show their healthcare badges at participating bakeries May 6-12.
"Nurses always put others before themselves, so we're happy to thank them for their constant ‘WOW' service," said Gary Bales, Cinnabon president. "We also commend The DAISY Foundation for their amazing efforts and are happy to continue growing our relationship with this organization."
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 hospital stay, Pat would only eat Cinnabon rolls, and he insisted his nurses have some, too. Since its inception, the foundation has presented 6,000 nurses in nearly 500 medical facilities nationwide and in Canada with The DAISY Award, which includes Cinnabon rolls and gift certificates for recipients and their colleagues to celebrate the teamwork it takes to provide outstanding patient care.
