In any given year, we received nearly 600 requests for donation, highlighting the increasing needs of so many worthy causes. To better manage these requests, we have implemented a new Finale Donation Program to address the growing need. To participate, you must be a registered Sweet Rewards member. This is one way to choose to give back to those who regularly patronize Finale. Requests for donation must be submitted in a one-page letter on your organization stationery addressed to Donation Requests, Finale Desserterie & Bakery, 9 Travis Street, Boston, MA 02134. Faxes are not accepted. Phone calls will be directed to this web page. Letters received by the following deadlines will be eligible for a lottery style drawing. The recipients will be notified via email. Each donation will be for $50 worth of desserts or a $50 gift certificates only. The request for donation letter must include a valid Sweet Rewards card number. Letters that do not have a valid number will not be considered and will not be notified.
