It is a school-based collection drive of baking ingredients, enabling schools, learners and families to help supply Cupcakes of Hope bakers so that they can continue raising funds for children fighting cancer. These funds are used for medical bills, nutritional support, life-saving transplants and monthly care for patients.
For more information on how to register your school, contact Cupcakes of Hope on bake@cupcakesofhope.org. You will then receive your starter kit with instructions and posters to launch the drive and start collecting.
