The Golden family will enjoy a free trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and other attractions, thanks to Panera Bread and the fundraising organization Baking Memories 4 Kids. Panera allows customers to round up their bills in the Change for Children program and donate the change to the charity, which benefits children ages 3-18 who have a life-threatening or terminal illness. People also can buy containers of cookies for the same cause.
