The best revision of the sentence is the following one: The baker donated a large box of bread to the fund-raiser.

Explanation:

The prepositional phrase "of bread" establishes that the large box donated by the baker contains bread. Therefore, it is unnecessary to use the PP denoting location "in a large box" and the NP denoting the donation "bread" if these two meaning components can be combined in the NP "a large box of bread". This NP entails that the baker has donated bread and the it has been given away in a large box.
