TIME TO MAKE THE DOUGHNUT BOXES: Now comes a nice, heartwarming story about an 8-year-old Jimmy Fund patient and her designs on a special, limited-edition, Dunkin Donuts box.

You're lucky if your drawing ends up on Mom's refrigerator.
Starting tomorrow, Lilly Brown's drawing will roll out on 300,000 Dunkin' Donuts boxes in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Southern New Hampshire shops.
Brown, an 8-year-old from New Hampshire, won a contest held by the Canton-based doughnut company through the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Boston's Dana-Farber Institute. Dunkin' Donuts picked her picture, Sunset on the Summer Sea, over a few dozen other drawings painted by Jimmy Fund patients.
"It's very exciting,'' Brown said Friday. "It's an excuse for me to get many doughnuts - heaven!''
