Cupcakes for a Cause

Cupcakes for a Cause~

Earlier this week, I hosted a fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Memory Walk that takes place here in Austin on October 4th.  The event was held in the lobby of the Assisted Living that I work at.  We had posted signs, baked cupcakes and desserts of all kind in hopes of raising $150 for the cause.  Before we could even open for business we had people dropping off money and showing interest in our event.  People would stop by and buy a loaf of strawberry bread for $20.  I was the one who had baked the strawberry bread, I knew it was yummy - but I couldn't believe it had sold for 20!  As the day went on and we started winding things down.  The grand total for our one day effort was $280.  Almost double what we thought we could make.  It made our group realize that we can make a difference.  We will continue to raise money up to October 4th.  We will reach our goal for this year for $1000!  Anyone can do it!  One cupake at a time!
