After raising more than $35,000 in just 20 days in 2010 to become the highest-grossing bake sale in the history of Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, Richmond-area organizers are excited to announce the 2011 City-Wide Bake Sale on Saturday, September 10th.
Proceeds will again benefit Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national nonprofit founded by former Richmonder Gretchen Holt Witt that supports research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancers. Through local bake sales, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer provides the inspiration and support for individuals, communities and businesses to help fight pediatric cancer.
This year, hundreds of adult and youth volunteers, along with scores of local businesses, will join forces to mount and promote bake sales.
Approximately 27 bake sales in the Richmond metro area will be powered by the donation of 16,000 frozen gourmet cookies from Jacqueline’s Gourmet Cookies in Salem, Massachusetts. Those cookies will be baked and packaged locally by Ashland-based Daystar Desserts.
In Short Pump, you can buy cookies at Walmart at 11400 West Broad Street and Five Below at 11331 West Broad Street from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
