There will be music and a portion of all sales at Donut Prince, as well as over 1,000 other participating local donut shops displaying the National Donut Day poster, will be donated to The Salvation Army's Haven Program for veterans. About National Donut Day National Donut Day commemorates the women volunteers who cooked donuts on the World War I battlefield, providing nourishment and care for American G.I.s. The pastries - virtually unknown in the States at the time - proved so popular that when the "doughboys" returned home, their demand for the sweet treat created the culinary phenomenon of the donut that has been embedded in American culture ever since.
