Doris Italian Market & Bakery locations throughout South Florida are going pink again this October. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, pink and white frosted cookies are available in October at all Doris Italian Market & Bakery locations throughout South Florida.

Throughout the month, $1 from each cookie sold will be donated to the American Cancer Society – Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Doris Italian Market & Bakery has raised more than $15,000 from cookie sales.

“The numbers are staggering. Breast cancer has impacted the lives of so many people, including our families and friends,” said John Alfano, president of Doris Italian Market & Bakery. “As a small business owner, it’s very important to my family and me to give back to our community. We thank our customers for supporting this worthy cause each year while enjoying one of our most popular cookies.”

Making Strides hosts three-to-five-mile non-competitive fundraising walks to go toward research, treatment and more. The organization provides resources and a supportive community, including a 24/7 helpline, one-on-one cancer patient support services and video chats for breast cancer survivors, metastatic breast cancer thrivers, caregivers and families.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women after skin cancer. This year alone, it is estimated that more than 310,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The organization also reports that more than four million breast cancer survivors are currently living in the U.S. and more than 150,000 breast cancer patients are living with metastatic disease.
