Panera Bread launched a dad joke competition in honor of International Father’s Day, which is celebrated on June 16. On June 10, the bakery is welcoming dad jokes for the occasion. U.S. fans can submit the jokes to the @PaneraBread page, replying to the competition post, for a chance to win one of the 50 Panera gift cards, worth USD 25 each.

“Dads are known for their love, support, and, of course, their legendary sense of humor (or lack thereof). To honor these champions of the pun, Panera Bread is asking fans to engage on social media and share their best (or worst) dad jokes for a chance to win a Panera gift card to treat your dad starting June 10,” the bakery announced its competition.

In addition, Panera is celebrating ‘Dads & Grads’ from June 5 through June 30, where guests can earn a USD 5 bonus card for every USD 25 in gift cards purchased online.
