Sweet fundraiser creates hope at Galleria Mall
“It’s in your hands to make the world a better, sweeter place, one cupcake at a time.”
In honour of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Cupcakes of Hope held a sweet fundraiser at Galleria Mall on Saturday, September 25. The organisation is committed to raise awareness about childhood cancer while sharing stories of hope, through the love of baking cupcakes.
While childhood cancer is a difficult journey, Cupcakes of Hope offers a light-hearted, fun and rewarding way to help children and families in need. Volunteers, fondly known as Cupcakes Angels, are between the ages of three and 90-years-old, and generously offer their time to bake a difference. Any recipe can be used when it comes to baking a difference in the lives of children with cancer, as long as the baked goods are made with love.
Cupcakes of Hope aims to get 3000 bakers to register, and raise funds to reach its target of R3
million.
“The event went really well and we sold most of the cupcakes. The cupcakes that were left over we donated them to safe homes for children. Thank you to all those who sponsored cupcakes for this worthy cause and those who assisted us,” said the organisation’s Shyanne Kanayee.
To become a cupcake angel all you have to do is pledge to bake 24, 48 or 100 cupcakes, register your fundraiser on the website, bake your delicious treats and ask friends to make a R10 to R20 donation per cupcake and finally, donate funds to Cupcakes of Hope.
“It’s in your hands to make the world a better, sweeter place, one cupcake at a time.”
