Cupcakes for a Cause is a week-long event with bakeries around the country selling cupcakes and donating a portion of sales to the CancerCare for Kids program which provides free professional support services to any child affected by cancer, whether the diagnosis is their own or that of a loved one.
This year Cupcakes for a Cause Week is September 21—27, 2009. The campaign has expanded to include participating BloomNet florists, who will sell Cupcakes in Bloom and donate 10% of net proceeds. Like to bake? Host your own bake sale and donate the proceeds to CancerCare for Kids. Sometimes the simplest things can make a big difference.
