We recently met the marketing director at Panera Bread, a local mama of two daughters, and in the course of conversation, we asked her if she’d give us some Panera bucks to offer the mamas of NWA.

She gave us gift cards to pair with several recent Walton Arts Center giveaways and today we’re making the gift card the giveaway. The winning mama will receive $100 worth of Panera gift cards to enjoy the rest of the summer!
