Cupcakes for Haiti: Sweet Exchange Benefit for Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti
By jpower on Tuesday, January 26th, 2010Cupcakes are versatile things. They’re tasty, portable, come in many flavors, have been known to create jobs, and also happen to be really good for fundraising. Emma Klassen of Kelowna, BC made the right choice when she decided to make 300 gourmet cupcakes to exchange for donations to the Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti.
Klassen put together this Saturday’s Sweet Exchange to collect money and supplies for the Haiti Home for Children, an orphanage and school run by the CFCH. Though the orphanage’s buildings have been damaged, the children and caretakers were not hurt in the earthquake and are presently living in the orphanage’s courtyard.
While the Sweet Exchange is over, the Haiti Home for Children still needs your help. You can send donations to the CFCH at:
