Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.
******************************************************
1) Bakes for Breast Cancer Massachusetts returns for its 24th year from Friday, May 12 through Thursday May 18, helping to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research.

There are two ways to participate in Bakes for Breast Cancer Massachusetts – establishments can offer one designated dessert where 100% of the proceeds go towards Bakes for Breast Cancer, or offer up their entire dessert roster where 50% of the proceeds goes back to the organization. 

Venues in the Boston area that are participating include Tuscan Kitchen Seaport, Beehive, Banks Fish House, Tatte, TAMO Bistro + Bar, Stillwater, South End Buttery, Sorellina, Rowes Wharf Sea Grille, Roche Brothers DTX Boston, Parish Café, Ostra, Ned Devine’s, Nebo, Mistral, Metropolis, Lucie Drink & Dine, Lolita, Kane’s Donuts, Grill 23 & Bar, Fuji at Ink Block, Formaggio Kitchen South, Figs, El Pelon, Davio’s Cosmica, Coquette, Cocorico Boulangerie, Coco Leaf, Black Lamb, Bistro du Midi, Bar Mezzana, Aquitaine and Mooo.

We are on a mission to end breast cancer for good, one sweet treat at a time,” said Bakes for Breast Cancer Founder Carol Sneider. “The Massachusetts culinary scene is thriving, and in addition to our trusted partners that have participated year after year, we had more new venues reach out to us than in years past. Here’s to what is shaping up to be our most-successful year to date.”

Proceeds raised will benefit the nonprofit breast cancer organization Bakes for Breast Cancer which will support the research of Dr. Rachel Freedman. Dr. Freedman’s clinical trials will focus on treatment for older breast cancer patients, an area of research that has been vastly under subsidized.

Since its inception in 1999, Bakes for Breast Cancer has raised over 2 million dollars. To date, over 4,500 different bakeries, cafés, pastry shops, supermarkets, and restaurants have participated throughout annual events in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and Cape & Islands. Bakes for Breast Cancer is also proud to add Vermont and New Hampshire this year, both of which will run from July 21 – 27, 2023.
