Cupcakes with Care: Spreading Love, One Sock at a Time
This October, join us in making a heartfelt impact through Cupcakes with Care, a special initiative where compassion meets creativity. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are partnering with Carolina Breast Friends to provide thoughtful, handcrafted gifts—sock cupcakes—for patients undergoing treatment. These small but meaningful tokens will be included in care bags that offer both comfort and emotional support to those navigating the challenges of breast cancer.
But this project is more than just about socks. It’s about showing that every act of kindness matters, and that girls have the power to make a difference in their communities. Our Girls on the Run participants are not just learning about empathy, they’re putting it into action by crafting these unique gifts with love and care.
This effort also connects with two important milestones: World Mental Health Day (October 10th) and International Day of the Girl (October 11th). By supporting this initiative, you’re helping raise awareness about the emotional toll of breast cancer while empowering girls to be agents of change.
Our fundraising goal is $2,000, and every dollar brings us closer to providing the materials needed to create these sock cupcakes. Your contribution will not only help fund supplies but also send a message of hope to patients in our community.
Together, we can make a lasting difference, one sock cupcake at a time. Donate today to help us spread warmth, joy, and strength to those who need it most.
