About 2,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the New England area are collecting donations for One Fund Boston to support those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings.

 

Canton-based Dunkin' Donuts donated $100,000 to One Fund Boston to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, and will continue to raise money through New England-area locations. 

“We are an organization with proud Boston roots, and our hearts are with those who were affected by the events at the Boston Marathon,” said Nigel Travis, CEO of Dunkin’ Brands in a statement. “We hope the donation to The One Fund Boston will help victims and their families during this difficult time."
