“We were happy to support a great cause! We had two separate events – One during our lunch period for students and teachers and one during our Back-to-School-Night for parents. The materials provided by Cookies for Kids’ Cancer were inviting and informative which helped draw attention to our table. We’re looking forward to hosting another event next September and continuing to support the fight against pediatric cancer.”

“I was introduced to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer by one of my teachers and once I heard about it I immediately knew I wanted to get involved. The organization makes it so easy to host these bake sales and guides you along the way always ready to answer any questions. From providing the delicious cookies to information sheets, a banner and setting up the donation page, they are there helping every step of the way. As someone who has hosted multiple bake sales for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer I can truly speak to how rewarding it is knowing the difference you are making. Seeing this immense desire in people to give back and abundance of kindness is heartwarming!”

“Hosting bake sales for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer has been one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve done since I first started helping at six years old. Over the years, I’ve organized the baking, reached out to local bakeries for donations, recruited friends and even had my school club support the bake sales. Seeing our community come together – from teachers to top LA bakeries – has shown me how powerful small actions can be. Knowing that the $11,000 I have raised helps fund life-saving treatments for kids makes every hour of planning and baking feel incredibly worthwhile.”
