Entenmann’s and the Salvation Army have partnered just in time for Doughnut Day {Giveaway}

Did someone say that there is a NATIONAL Donut Day?? OMG… I can’t not WAIT and neither can Entenmann’s, they even have a countdown on their website… how super cool is that? But that’s not all…..

Entenmann’s Bakery and The Salvation Army have partnered for a sweet celebration to commemorate the 75th National Donut Day on Friday, June 1st, 2012 in NYC! Started by The Salvation Army in 1938, this day honors their “Donut Lassies” who served these delicious treats to soldiers during World War I.

In honor of this special holiday, we thought we’d provide some background on the 75^th National Donut Day with some ‘Fun Facts’ about both Entenmann’s Bakery and The Salvation Army. Entenmann’s also launched a sweepstakes at HERE where you can enter to win some great prizes, including ‘Free Donuts for a Year’!

75^th Annual National Donut Day Fun Facts!

Entenmann’s Bakery:

• Entenmann’s has made more than 4 billion donuts – if you laid them end-to-end, you could wrap them around the earth almost 9 times!
• The Rich Frosted Donut has been the #1 seller since its introduction in 1972. (2012 marks the 40-Year Anniversary – that’s a sweet celebration!)
• Entenmann’s Donut Facility in Carlisle, Pennsylvania is the largest Donut Plant in the United States, producing more than 40 million boxes of yummy delight each year!
• Believing that people were more inclined to buy what they can see, the Entenmann’s brothers, William, Robert and Charles, and mother, Martha, invented the familiar “see-through” cake box for baked goods in 1959!
• At one time, more than 168 million pounds of chocolate have been used for Entenmann’s Rich Frosted Donuts, enough to fill all of the Great Lakes!
• In the early ’50s, Frank Sinatra used to call the Bay Shore bakery to place weekly orders from Entenmann’s!
