During the month of January of 2013, a portion of proceeds from the sale of each winning sandwich will be donated to a non-profit organization. 

This is the second year Panera has held a "create a sandwich" in the St. Louis area. Sales of last year's winner, the BLTT, ended up sending $2,500 to St. Louis Children's Hospital from the 12,000 BLTTs sold locally in January, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
