RSS FeedAstro Doughnuts Doughnutting For Charity (1308 G St NW)
We received an e-mail from Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken (1308 G St NW) about their celebration of National Doughnut Day tomorrow, Friday, June 7. What we like about this celebration is that 100% of proceeds will go to a charity.
This Friday, June 7, is National Doughnut Day and Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken will celebrate with a “Raspberry Blueberry” doughnut, 100% of the sales of which will benefit the Fisher House Foundation. Available for $3 each, only 200 “Raspberry Blueberry” doughnuts will be available, which will be a square doughnut half filled with blueberry jam and the other half with raspberry jam. Traditionally, National Doughnut Day honors the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I, and celebrations on this day often have ties to the military. The seasonally appropriate doughnut is also a play on red, white and blue, and pays homage to Travis Gehring, the brother of Pastry Chef Jason Gehring, who served in the Navy from 1999 to 2007.
The Fisher House Foundation is best known for the network of comfort homes built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers nationwide and in Europe. Fisher Houses are beautiful homes, donated to the military and Department of Veterans Affairs, and the homes enable family members to be close to loved ones during hospitalization for a combat injury, illness or disease.
