Free cupcakes at Cupcakes4Charity Fundraiser for American Cancer Society
A little bit of sugar & frosting CAN make a difference. October 1, 2009 at the Roger Smith Hotel, Cupcakes4Charity will be holding our first charity fundraising event. Our goal is to raise awareness and use social media to bring together individuals to make a positive difference in the community, both locally & globally. Mix and mingle. Have cocktails and indulge in some delicious cupcakes. All proceeds from this event will go to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. Cancer has touched many of our lives, so this is our way of supporting Cancer survivors & Cancer research.
Donations are welcome. Supporters have been kind enough to donate drink deals, cupcakes, and prize raffles. The main focus is to raise money through sugary, delicious, home baked tasty goodness. Cupcakes will be sold for $2 each with 100% of the profits going to charity. If you wear something Yellow (hat, tie, shirt, dress, or even socks) the cupcakes will only cost a $1, though we may ask to take a photo of you & your Yellow showing your support.

Admission is free, but we are collecting food donations for the Central PA Food Bank. Please bring at least one non-perishable food item per attendee. Contestants should bring 10 non-perishable food items or a $10 donation for the Central PA Food Bank. Here are the most needed items: Ma http://www.centralpafoodbank.org/donate/food-drive.asp.

Iron Cupcake: London - Booze
Venue – The Cuban Bar, Citypoint, One Ropemaker Street, EC2Y 9AY

Head towards Prets into a covered walkway at the base of City point. This is where the Cuban bar is. We’ll be in the basement.
