Our Cupcake Event - May 31, 2009
Saturday: Early morning ingredient shopping was quite an adventure with Maria and her 4 little cousins. Once we had all the ingredients we needed we went to Maria’s house to begin the cooking extravaganza. While Maria and I cooked, the girls decorated the car and made signs which read “give a child a future and we will give you a cupcake”. By the time we were done we had 1 fully painted car, 6 signs, 85 vanilla cupcakes and 85 chocolate cupcakes.
Sunday: By 10am we were at the Parque del Virrey. We opened the trunk and displayed our masterpieces. At first, not that many people showed up but by 1 pm people started flocking our car. By 3pm we had given out 170 cupcakes and had received 70 back packs in return. The event was a great success and there will definitely be more to come. Thank you everyone for being so supportive of our cause.
The Give Back a Pack Foundation, a nonprofit organization, was formed to improve the educational opportunities for disadvantaged children throughout Latin America. Our mission is to collect and deliver as many back packs and school supplies as possible. However, to make a difference, we need the support of individuals, groups, corporations, schools, churches, and local communities. With the donation of one supply-filled back pack, your gift will have a direct impact on a child’s life.
