Cupcakes for a Cause

Isn't blogging so cool!!?? I have a new friend (in blog world) who is the wife of a fireman BJ works with and I got this information from her....(we have yet to meet, but one day we will!) http://theyoungbloodfamily.blogspot.com/
(sorry having problem inserting link??)

I know there are many of my friends who are cupcake lovers (Kyley, Jill....) and so I must share "Cupcakes for a Cause". Read below......

Cupcakes, Kids, and Cancer...Which one doesn't fit? Cancer. That's why CancerCare organizes Cupcakes For A Cause which is a sweet way to help kids affected by cancer. During the week of October 20-October 26, some of the best bakeries all over the country will team up with CancerCare for the Fifth Annual Cupcakes for a Cause. The sweetest thing of all is that proceeds will benefit CancerCare for KidsR, a program that provides free professional support services for children affected by cancer.
Cupcakes will be available in all flavors and sizes and decorated with the
smiling-face logo of the CancerCare for Kids program. Participating bakeries expect to sell approximately 75,000 cupcakes during the week-long fundraiser. Over 130 participating bakeries and in-store bakeries such as Baked, Crumbs, William Greenberg Jr. Desserts, Whole Foods, Amy's Bread, and more.
Parents and kids can help raise awareness and additional
funds for the program by visiting the official Cupcakes for a Cause website,where they can decorate and send their own virtual e-cupcake.

hey sada, on the Cupcake site you can have your own bake sale to raise funds, send a virtual e-cupcake and a $1 gets donated OR go to one of the bakeries and buy the real ones. our friend sells cupcakes at his deli in NY so I'll find out if he's in on this too. Thanks for passing it along.
