May 19 - Dancing Deer Bakery in Boston has found a winning recipe for entrepreneurial success. It's making money for its founder, employees, and charitable organizations. Each of its 70 workers in the inner-city neighborhood of Roxbury receive health and disability insurance, educational reimbursement, retirement plans, and a financial stake in the company. Dancing Deer's goods, including its popular molasses clove cookies, are sold by major retailers such as Whole Foods and Williams-Sonoma. It donates 35% of the proceeds from its line of cakes and cookies to education, housing, and job training for the poor.
