Kane’s Donuts and Stella Blue Coffee team up to create Miss Peaches donut benefiting PAWS New England Kane’s Donuts was proud to announce that their recent collaboration with Stella Blue Coffee to create the Miss Peaches donut has raised $2,500 for PAWS New England. The initiative, which was launched earlier this year, was inspired by Barstool Founder & President Dave Portnoy’s rescue dog, Miss Peaches, and will continue raising funds for the organization through the rest of the year. The Miss Peaches donut, featuring a sweet peach glaze with a hint of cinnamon, was created to pair perfectly with Stella Blue’s Miss Peaches blend – a medium roast coffee with smooth caramel and nutty notes. While the donut is no longer available, customers can still support by purchasing Miss Peaches Coffee from one of Kane’s three locations. “Kane’s has always been passionate about giving back to the community, and this collaboration with Stella Blue Coffee allowed us to support a cause close to our hearts while working with a brand we love,” says Kane’s Donuts Co-Owner Maria Delios. “PAWS New England does incredible work rescuing dogs and giving them a second chance at life, and we were honored to contribute to their mission. We’re thrilled to have already donated $2,500 and look forward to raising even more.” PAWS New England is a volunteer-run nonprofit that rescues dogs from high-risk shelters and unsafe environments, providing medical care and placing them in loving homes. By enjoying the Miss Peaches donut and coffee, customers aren’t just treating themselves – they’re also helping to create better futures for animals in need. Miss Peaches Coffee is available at all Kane’s locations: 120 Lincoln Ave. in Saugus; 1575 Broadway (Essex Landing) in Saugus; and 90 Oliver St. in Boston’s Financial District.
