The document describes a Cupcakes for Cancer bake sale held in October 2010 by a high school Breast Cancer Awareness Club to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The club donated all bake goods which were sold by students and faculty, with all proceeds going to cancer research, in support of a faculty member diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 that made breast cancer awareness personal to the school. The author coordinated logistics of the bake sale like location, advertising, donations and staffing the sale.
2. What is Cupcakes for Cancer?
• During the month of October the
Breast Cancer Awareness Club held a
bake sale to raise money for the Susan
G Komen foundation
• All of the bake goods were donated by
members of the club and all of the
proceeds went to Cancer research
3. Why?
• My high school has been very proactive
in raising money for Breast Cancer, ever
since one of the faculty members was
diagnosed in 2008. This has made
Breast Cancer awareness a very
personal cause for all students and
faculty.
4. My role in the project
• I coordinated with the school
administration to schedule where and when
we could hold the bake sale
• Advertising for the sale was done by
myself and two other members. This
included making morning announcements
and creating flyers
• Also, I organized what would be donated,
sold, and who would run the stand
