Happy Cupcakes Week: CancerCare for Kids

Image from www.cupcakesforacause.org

September 21-27 is the fifth annual Cupcakes for a Cause Week! Cupcakes for a Cause was launched in 2004 by CancerCare, a national nonprofit organization that provides free, professional support services to anyone affected by cancer. Cupcakes for a Cause enlists bakeries to sell specially decorated cupcakes to raise funds for the CancerCare for Kids program.

So to help raise even more funds for this awesome program, here are some things you can do:

1) Design a FREE E-Cupcake and send it to a friend! Powered by 1-800-FLOWERS, they will donate $1 for each E-Cupcake sent.

2) Host a bake sale in your community anytime during the month of September and donate the proceeds to CancerCare for Kids.

2) Purchase cupcakes from participating bakeries around the country. Each bakery will donate a portion of the sales to CancerCare for Kids. Sweetest Whimsy is not a sponsor because we do not have a brick-and-mortar retail storefront, but we are happy to be a cheerleader for all of the other great local bakeries taking part in this!

3) Order a Cupcake in Bloom™, made entirely of flowers, from a participating florist. Each florist will donate 10% of the profits to CancerCare for Kids. Who says it has to have sugar to be sweet?!

So how is Sweetest Whimsy celebrating Cupcakes for a Cause Week? I am hosting a NO-BAKE BAKE SALE! That's right, you can purchase a virtual cupcake from my bake sale, and in return, you will have donated the full amount (tax-deductible) to CancerCare for Kids AND receive a coupon for a future purchase from Sweetest Whimsy! You can donate online at the Sweetest Whimsy website or by contacting me directly.
