CancerCare launched Cupcakes for a Cause in 2004 by enlisting a group of bakeries to sell specially decorated cupcakes to raise funds for the CancerCare for Kids program.
Since then, Cupcakes for a Cause has grown into a week-long event with bakeries around the country selling cupcakes and donating a portion of sales to the CancerCare for Kids program which provides free support services to children affected by cancer and their families.
This year Cupcakes for a Cause Week will be September 21–27, 2009. The campaign has expanded to include participating BloomNet florists, who will be selling the Cupcake in Bloom™ and donating 10% of net proceeds. Click below to find out where you can buy cupcakes or the Cupcake in Bloom™ near you.
You can also support Cupcakes for a Cause online by shopping the exclusive 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® Cupcakes for a Cause collection from 9/1-9/30/09. 10% of net proceeds from select floral and edible cupcake products and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM best-sellers, benefit CancerCare for Kids.
The bakery sign up period for 2009 has ended. A limited quantity of in-store marketing materials are available for last minute sign-ups. Bakeries may sign up here, but marketing materials and candies cannot be guaranteed.
