Last week I happened to catch a commercial on television that advertised Glad To Give, the effort by the Glad company’s family of products and their support to fund research for finding a cure for children’s cancer. I was immediately touched and a quick online search brought me to the Cookies For Kids Cancer site.
In just the last year I have either personally known or had friends who have children diagnosed with cancer. Of the three I know, one, a teenager, is beating the cancer, one, a second grader, has little time left to live while living with an inoperable brain tumor and the other passed away last month at the age of just two years old.
Being that I LOVE to bake and have wondered how my family could help these families and others like them, I felt like I had finally found my answer. I’m hoping I can organize a bake sale of our own here. I’ve already called my community association to see about setting up a booth at one of our local pools when they open for the season or maybe even setting up a table during my son’s soccer tournament in May. I just need to recruit a few friends to help out too! (hint, hint!)
The website is looking to break their one-month record and register more than 350 bakes sales in May! Are you on board to join the cause? Check out their site, register your bake sale, print out the signs and other materials to help you get started (they’re free!) You can even join their Facebook page to stay updated on all the things going on. Tell your friends, family, neighbors, school groups, scout troops–get your community involved and together we can make a difference for children and their families battling cancer!
I hope you’ll be inspired like I was and get start planning your bake sale today!
