Cakes For Kids
Creating Sweet, Scrumptious Treats To Benefit Sweet, Creative Children 

What is Cakes For Kids?
Cakes for Kids is a fun opportunity for church and school communities across the state to join together and make a difference in the lives of children battling serious illnesses. During the month of April, Sunday school classes, youth groups, PTAs, and faith communities will tie on their aprons and whip up some goodies as a way to support the nonprofit organization Arts For Life.  By organizing a Cakes for Kids bake sale at your church or school, you will enable hundreds of children to create, to discover, and to experience life fully even within the constraints of illness.

At the end of May, after all bake sales have taken place, Arts For Life will report back to our participating churches and schools on the impact of their efforts. We are excited to demonstrate the power of collaboration! Please consider joining us.

The Facts
