Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café Announces New Fundraising Program

BR Logo from Andy smallBetween Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with four locations in Connecticut, has recently announced their unique Between Rounds Fundraising Program.

The Between Rounds Fundraising Program simplifies the fundraising process for youth athletic teams, schools, theaters and other groups. Essentially, Between Rounds designates a specific week where a portion of sales goes directly to the fundraising group.

How it Works

The team or group leader makes arrangements with Between Rounds’ corporate office for a fundraising week. The team/group leader is provided with a Between Rounds Fundraiser Week Flyer (PDF), which they are able to share with supporters as handouts or via email and social media.

Supporters spend a minimum of $10 on food/beverages at any Between Rounds location during the scheduled fundraiser week, and Between Rounds donates $1 per sale to the team/group.

The Between Rounds Fundraiser Week Flyer must be presented at time of purchase to ensure that a portion of the supporter’s purchase goes to the appropriate team/group.

“This is an innovative way to raise funds for your team, group, or school,” said Jerry Puiia, co-founder of Between Rounds. “Our program is easy to implement, and easy to promote via social media.”

For more information, contact Jerry Puiia of Between Rounds 860-291-0323.

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut, has recently partnered with Joseph Family Markets and the ShopRites of Canton and West Hartford, Connecticut to supply their signature bagels to ShopRite customers.

The two ShopRite stores, owned by Chuck and Debbie Joseph of Joseph Family Markets, are located at 110 Albany Turnpike in Canton and 46 Kane Street in West Hartford. As a family owned business, they are proud to partner with Between Rounds, which is also family owned, and will offer Between Rounds’ bagels in the bakery departments of both stores.

Joseph Family Markets ispassionate in its search for high-quality food products from Connecticut’s best small businesses. After hearing about Between Rounds Bagels, Chuck Joseph had his management team and associates try the bagels, which were met with rave reviews. Joseph made the decision to carry the product in his stores and the partnership was born.

Between Rounds bagels join a select group of other Connecticut-made products under the Joseph Family Markets Connecticut’s Own banner. “As a family-owned business, we forge partnerships with other Connecticut food artisans to bring their unique and flavorful products – from bagels to organic, gluten-free chips and salsa to micro batch ice cream and everything in between – to our customers,” explained Joseph.   “We’re proud to feature Between Rounds bagels as part of Connecticut’s Own, found here every day, under one roof.”

Between Rounds is the brainchild of the Puiia brothers, who established cafés in Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester and Tolland.

The bagels are delivered to grocers fully baked so no additional labor is required of the bakery department.

Between Rounds has established partnerships with 22 grocers in Connecticut. Independent grocer owners or store managers interested in carrying Between Rounds bagels may contact Jerry or Joe Puiia at (860) 291-0323.
