How Sweet It Is...

Pilled high with rich frosting and covered with bright sprinkles can make it hard to resist a cupcake—especially when they are being sold for CancerCare for Kids program.

Because September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, CancerCare for Kids created the national, annual event Cupcakes for a Cause to benefit their service which provides free support services to children and their families affected by childhood cancer.

Anyone can support this program—even if you don’t want to eat or bake. The Cupcakes for a Cause website offers the opportunity to create an e-cupcake and send it to your friends and family! The service is free but the official sponsor, got2b, is donating $1 for every e-cupcake sold, up to $10,000. To date, only 1,080 have been sent so jump over to their website to help them reach their goal.

For those interested in some finger-licking fun, across the nation, businesses, families and friends get together to bake cupcakes and donate the proceeds to Cupcakes for a Cause. Get a team together and start baking!

Grocery stores and bakeries are celebrating Cupcakes for a Cause Week, September 20-26 by selling specially decorated cupcakes and donating back a portion of the proceeds.

What a “sweet way to help children and families affected cancer!”
