BEAVERTON, Ore. – Rivermark CU and the Clackamas Safeway Bread Plant mixed more than 30,000 pounds of cookie dough for the 29th Annual Dough for Doernbecher fundraiser.
Rivermark employees then packaged more than 14,000 pounds of that cookie dough into five-pound bags to fill hundreds of orders placed by its members online and at its branch locations. The cookie dough is pre-sold in November for $7 (sugar cookie) and $9 (chocolate chip) per bag. Using refrigerated trucks donated by Reser’s Fine Foods and Enterprise Car Sales, Rivermark employees transferred the dough from the bread plant to branches for pick-up during the first week of December.
The remainder of the dough was purchased by families at the bread plant’s one-day Cookie Bake event, which was held on Dec. 4. At the Cookie Bake, Safeway employees handle the baking in the plant’s commercial ovens while Rivermark employees run the decorating stations.
Since 1983, Rivermark has raised more than $500,000 for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital through its popular Dough for Doernbecher and summertime favorite Dogs for Doernbecher fundraising efforts.
