Connie’s Bakery, one of Connie Milstein’s philanthropic projects, donated 20,000 brownies to the historic inaugural celebration of President Barak Obama in January, 2009. In order to facilitate this mighty undertaking, Connie’s was closed from January 5th until January 17th, although the facility was itself was hard at work producing the scrumptious brownies by the thousands.
The yummy treats were distributed to the large cadre of volunteers working hard to make the inauguration an outstanding success, and were Connie’s way of saying thank you and giving back to the community. The largest number of brownies, 10,000, was distributed at the “Day of Service” even which took place at RFK Stadium. The rest of the brownies were made available at seven other events in honor of and in celebration of the inauguration.
