I heard about The Purple Cupcake Project the other day via a Facebook posting by Atlanta cupcake bakery Sweet Pockets, who will be selling purple cupcakes from March 22-26th, and didn't realize it was part of a larger happening.
We'll be posting more about it, including more pretty purple cupcakes, but for now, here's some news from the official website of The Purple Cupcake Project:
Conceived by three smart cupcakes at The Anita Kaufmann Foundation (AKF), The Great Purple Cupcake Project is a sweet epilepsy awareness initiative supporting Purple Day (March 26th). During the week of March 26th, AKF is inviting bakeries and cupcakeries across the United States to feature PURPLE CUPCAKES in an effort to promote awareness of a condition that affects over 3 million Americans.
We'll provide you with the Purple Day swag and signage and you make the cupcakes. All we ask is that a portion of cupcake sales go back to Purple Day for epilepsy awareness (10% is suggested). In return, your shop and website will be listed on a dedicated page at both www.purpleday.org and www.akfus.org. We will also provide you with press materials to send out to the local media.
