As we like to say in our community in Charlotte, NC - Cookies for Kids' Cancer is 'more than just a bake sale'- it's a movement and way to give and make an impact & it's a perfect way to talk about an uncomfortable subject, childhood cancer, the #1 disease killer of children in the US. Since the original 96,000 cookies that were baked by volunteers, Cookies for Kids' Cancer has made a huge impact for children battling this horrific disease; 23 million granted to research, 140+ grants funded and 60 new treatments that are used to help children today.

I've been connected to CFKC for 10-years now. Like many, my initial reasoning was to help someone dear to me save their child. I stay connected to spread awareness to raise necessary funding to save countless lives. This amazing foundation grew from a very simple concept, have a bake sale to raise money. The reason behind it however was much more profound. Parents trying to save their child. [Please read the story at cookiesforkidscancer.org] Sadly, Liam, forever 6, lost his courageous 4-year fight with cancer. Though devastated by the loss of their son, the Witts remain more determined than ever to continue the fight against pediatric cancer so that no family is ever told what they were, “we have run out of options.” Today Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a national 501(c)3 non-profit committed to raising funds for research to develop new, improved, and less toxic treatments for PEDIATRIC CANCER — THE #1 DISEASE KILLER OF CHILDREN IN THE U.S. This organization has granted nearly $20 million to the leading pediatric cancer research centers across the country to date with 100% of the profits going to the cause. Good Cookies indeed! The picture I attached was a Bake Sale we had to raise money for CFKC. My children were able to participate in that event (as seen in the photo) and learn the importance of giving back. Kids helping kids, amazing! Our lil' bake sale on the East End of Long Island, championed by family & friends, raised 15k (it was matched by Glad to raise 30k). And that was only ONE bake sale!!!! That just goes to show you what we can do if we all work together. -Rebecca O'Brien (Hauppauge, NY)

Another year of being continuously impressed with the granting process at Cookies for Kids' Cancer. Cookies' all-star Medical Advisory Board meets annually to review and evaluate grant requests using the same stringent criteria as the National Cancer Institute. To date... granting over $21 million, funding over 130 research projects that have resulted in 25 treatments and clinical trials available to children today. Always a great thing to see your funds being meaningfully allocated to promising pediatric cancer research where they are needed most.

I've been a supporter of Cookies since 2010 and prior to that was a volunteer at Memorial Sloan Kettering in pediatrics. That experience showed me first hand how devastating a pediatric cancer diagnosis is to families. Birthdays, holidays, etc....I send C4KC cookies so that funds can get to critical pediatric cancer research and everybody loves a gift that gives back. This year I joined Cookies full time as Senior Editor and am committed as ever to help raise funds for research to develop new, improved, and less toxic treatments for pediatric cancer.

"TO GROW UP". Those 3-words are what this charity is about. Giving children the opportunity to do just that. Funding research to make new treatments available to treat pediatric cancer, cure these beautiful children and allow them to grow-up! And all by BAKING COOKIES!!!!!!! The concept seems simple. In theory it is, although it came from a place of desperation, panic, the need to do something, anything and bake cookies was what Liam's mom set out to do to save her 2-year old son Liam. Bake cookies, sell cookies, raise money, find a cure. With the help of 250 volunteers, they baked and sold 96,000 cookies and raised more than $420,000. Sadly, Liam passed before a cure was available to him. But that bake sale launched what is now 'Cookies for Kids’ Cancer' which inspires people to Be Good Cookies and get involved by raising money for research for the cancers specific to children. Today there have been 16,000 grassroots fundraising events in all 50 states and nearly $20 million granted to the leading pediatric cancer research centers across the country. When I first heard of CFKC I myself had the honor of working with a local team of volunteers on Long Island and we hosted a bake sale. And in one Saturday in the month of May we sold cookies in front of an aquarium and RAISED 10,000 DOLLARS!!!! In fact, combined with all of the other Bake Sales held that May with matching support CFKC raised $750k. Pediatric Cancer is a heartbreaking, deadly epidemic. CFKC is funding research for treatments that are allowing children and thief families the HOPE of survival so that children with pediatric cancer can GROW UP. Every child deserves this right and COOKIES FOR KIDS CANCER is giving them their wish. I am proud to support this amazing nonprofit.

I’ve been in the childhood cancer world for more than 20 years. This childhood cancer organization funds the very best most promising research that is changing many outcomes for kids fighting cancer everywhere. They have an amazing medical advisory team that are the most innovative in the childhood oncology field.
When you make a donation you can know the money is funding research and helping kids be kids.
I love being a part of this incredible Cookies team. Be a good cookie.

This organization is quite simply, remarkable. Cookies for Kids' Cancer puts their money where their mouth is, and they are saving lives one fundraiser at a time. There is no greater loss in this world than that of a parent loosing a child, and those dedicated to this organization know that devastation first hand. Fueled by a mother's love and fury, Cookies for Kids' Cancer fights to help keep children alive by funding life-saving clinical trials for Pediatric Cancer Research. This organization is about being a good cookie - and those running CFCC are some of the best!

Cookies for Kids Cancer has been such a wonderful part of mine and my families lives! We became involved with out first CKFC fundraising bake sale over 10 years ago when I learned about the organization from a friend. Baking, community and finding new and less toxic treatments for kids with cancer is what it's all about. My kids and I have participated in CFKC Bake Sales, 5k's, Cookie Trains and my daughter even runs a CFKC club with over 200 members at her High School. The team at Cookies For Kids Cancer are supportive, great communicators and even supply us with the items we need to help make the events successful.

Want to get your kids involved with a nonprofit they can understand and make an immediate difference? Cookies is your answer! My kids adore baking - and who doesn't love cookies?! - and they feel so proud that they can help out other children who are sick and battling. This organization makes it so easy for you to host your own bake sale. They offer helpful, specific advice which makes the sale a breeze, particularly for a first-timer. Their fun stickers/signage make your kids feel like pros. Thank you, Cookies!

This amazing non profit, Cookies for Kids Cancer, helped me, a grieving mom whose 2 year old daughter,Easton, died from cancer, find my purpose during the most tragic period of my life. Meeting the passionate and welcoming people behind this cause and realizing that they were funding daring research for even the worst diagnosis made me realize that I needed to be involved. I have hosted bakesales and encouraged others to do so as well. I have also volunteered to help with their Charlotte event, joining their event committee and taking on the role as a good cookie ambassador! I have also formed lasting friendships! Cookies for Kids Cancer is not only a truly special non profit, but also community in their own right that supports the pediatric cancer community in ways that set them apart from the crowd!

Cookies for Kids' Cancer is a charity that is near and dear to our hearts. Personally knowing the Witt family and their battle with childhood cancer moved us to action 10 years ago. Our family is committed to raising funds for childhood cancer research. We host an annual Bake Sale at a local lacrosse tournament in town every year. We've rasied over $50,000 over the years. In addition we organize a pajama day at our elementary school. Both are great easy ways to involve not only our children but so many local children as well. Giving back is so important and even more important to instill in our children. CFKC is such a great way to do this! Children can make signs, sell products, and shout out the message! Who can resist cute kids doing GOOD?! LOVE LOVE LOVE Cookis for Kids' Cancer!

This is an incredible organization that enables everyone - from kids to adults - to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer. It creates awareness in such a simple way -- a good old fashioned bake sale. Everyone has fun, and feels great about the difference they are making - whether they are baking cookies, selling cookies, or spreading the news about the organization. The concept is so contagious that it often inspires others who see it to want to do the same in their own environment. The founders of CFKC suffered the ultimate loss and now their organization inspires people all over the world to make a difference.

CFKC is an amazing organization that came into our lives at just the right time. My mother had recently passed away from cancer and my daughter was devastated. We saw how damaging cancer is to both the patient and their family. CFKC gave us a way to channel our energy in a positive, fun way while contributing to a great cause. There is so much support provided by the CFKC team that it's very easy to host a bake sale. It's a small organization which allows you to feel part of the team. After our first event we were hooked and continue to host annual bake sales. We are very grateful to CFKC and their awesome team!

CFKC is an incredibly well run organization. I have held several bake sales/events to raise money for them, and each time their team has been very helpful in assisting with the set up - sending me a bake sale kit with everything that is needed (packaging materials, balloons, signs, pamphlets, a self-addressed envelope to send in the donations). They also hold an amazing Chefs' for Kids Cancer gala every year. The gala starts with a cocktail hour combined with an art auction , followed by top chefs cooking a meal right in front of you, ending with a jar of custom cookies from various top pastry chefs in NYC. Almost everything, including the ingredients' , chefs' talent, even cooking appliances, are all donated, so almost the entirety of the proceeds are able to be donated to CFKC. It is sold out every year, and not only do they raise an impressive amount of money each year, it is also a fantastic time. CFKC has top pediatric oncologists from renown hospitals around the country on their board that are assisting them with which medical experiments to fund, then getting them fast-tracked so they can be put into use to help pediatric cancer patients as soon as possible. There are quite a few pediatric cancer orgs out there, but this one is not only thoughtful/mindful, it is also efficient, effective, and producing real results.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer touches my heart like no other. Although I was not fortunate enough to have children of my own, I love them all as if they were. I feel that our beautiful innocent children should never have to go through what these have and who are still going through. Cookies is such an inspiration for everyone and I plan to continue holding bake sales and other fundraising events for Cookies for as long as I breathe and hopefully one day we will have our cure, and our children will be able to live the beautiful life that they were meant to live. I cry just about everyday when I look at all our inspirations and know in my heart that some of them fought a hard battle and are no longer with us especially Liam the Brave. His memory will forever be in my heart and his story started it all for me and I am grateful to have been able to see his smiling face in pictures and read his story and pray for him daily. I pray daily for all of them and I always will.

Thank you Cookies for Kids' Cancer for letting me be a part of such a wonderful, loving, caring and giving family.

I am a proud volunteer with CFKC, one who has working with the organization over the last several years and has brought in my entire family and many of my friends into the fold of supporters. To work with Cookies for Kids' Cancer knowing that they are in it to win it and that 100% of their efforts are focused on helping children beat cancer is inspiring. Through grassroots fundraisers all over the nation (and the world), CFKC has been able to fund clinical trials that bring about real change to the pediatric cancer treatment regimen for all types of pediatric cancer. Being that the world of pediatric cancer is so overlooked by the government, the pharma world, and other larger cancer organizations, it's heartwarming to work with an organization that wants to focus strictly on children so they can come out as the victors in their battle with the beast of cancer. Their overhead is low (in comparison to most other non-profits) so their impact can be as strong possible. Knowing that over 90% of the cookies you sell or the funds you raise through a race or a jeans day at work is going to work for kids makes you feel like it's money well spent and well invested in the health of innocent children around the nation.

Since meeting the organization's founder, Gretchen Witt, and her son, Liam, several years ago through work, Cookies for Kids' Cancer and the fight against pediatric cancer have been my personal passion. Gretchen is a consummate PR and communications professional, which enables her to effectively share with others WHY and HOW we should and can help. The small CFKC administrative team is extremely supportive and genuine! The organization is grassroots, but volunteers around the country support each other by sharing ideas, photos and motivational thoughts.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer is my passion! Since I met the Witts a few years ago while their son was undergoing treatment, they have served as my inspiration in many aspects of life. This family, along with CFKC board members and staff are some of the most genuine people I've ever met, and the authenticity is an important part of what keeps me going in my volunteer work. As long as there are families and children battling pediatric cancer, our work is not done. This organization provides easy-to-understand information about the need for funds as well as tons of resources for how to raise money and inspire others. Plus, they're business-savvy and super-creative, which makes a sad subject a whole lot more fun!

When our neighbor's daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, I started doing my research, and I learned about the lack of funding for pediatric cancers. I also learned that my friend's tiny daughter would be treated with drugs designed for a full grown adult. I desperately wanted to help in some way, and then I heard about Cookies for Kids' Cancer. The concept is so simple, that it's brilliant! Anyone can get involved, by holding a tiny, one table bake sale, or by organizing an all day event, like a family fun day, 5k, car wash, etc. There are so many ways to help, and the organizations founders stress that no amount is too small, every penny counts. There are no high paid executive salaries to pay, as there are with many of the larger, well-known charities that we all hear about. When you hold an event for CFKC, you can rest assured that the money you raise is going directly to fund clinical trials that just might save a child's life. There are small administrative costs, but the majority of the money raised goes straight to research. There are several volunteers who help with event support, and they are all so personable, and will do whatever they can to help make your event a success. ANYONE can get involved with CFKC. It's as easy as pie (or cookies)! I'm eternally grateful for the positive impact it's had on my life, and I'm looking forward to hosting my 7th CFKC event this December.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer is an empowering organization that gives anyone who cares the means and the support to DO SOMETHING to fight against pediatric cancer. Gretchen Holt Witt and her team are remarkable in their energetic, nonstop drive to raise awareness and funding for cancer research for children, and it's an honor to work with them to give sick children and their families the hope they deserve. I became involved in honor of two young children in my life who were diagnosed with cancer, and I stay involved because I am constantly inspired by Gretchen and the Cookies staff, as well as their many dedicated supporters. I plan to keep fighting for and with Cookies for Kids' Cancer until the letter C really does stand for cookie!

I LOVE Cookies for Kids' Cancer! Last year as Mrs. SC Strawberry Festival Queen I chose to support CFKC during my reign! I love that over 90% of fundraising dollars goes directly to childhood cancer research! I love that a bake sale is simple enough for all ages to take part in! My community loves the idea of being a "Good Cookie"! I am excited to be a Good Cookie Ambassador for the organization! Last year I raised over $41,000 and this year I'm hoping to top that number with the second annual 30 Days for a Cure - Fort Mill!

Cookies for Kids Cancer was founded by 2 dear friends of mine Gretchen and Larry Witt. They have built a wonderful organization, filled with dedicated and committed volunteers who fight every day to raise the much needed funding for pediatric cancer research...their unwavering commitment is an inspiration for each and every one of us...Although we have made tremendous progress, there is still so much more than can and needs to be done...

One of the best parts of my involvement is all of the wonderful people that I have met along this journey...they are a true inspiration and I am eternally grateful for all of the support that I have been given.

This November will be my organization's 4th opportunity to collect funds for Cookies for Kids Cancer. It has become a family affair that we look forward to and plan for all year long. We are a family of bakers and love to share our wares. More than all of this, is knowing that our efforts are helping families at a time when they are in need more than any other time in their lives. Further, we like that the organization is nonprofit and research is their purpose. Research is the answer and we are doing all we can to help eliminate childhood cancers.

Cookies for Kids Cancer is an amazing organization that allows me to do what I can to help support the ongoing fight against pediatric cancer. I love that this group connects me to all these wonderful people around the country doing what they can to help fund research that is ALREADY making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. I love that I include lots of children and their moms at my annual event and how grateful everyone is to be there. We are honored to be of help to families who aren't as lucky as we are to support all the amazing kids who so courageously battle this disease.

Cookies for Kids Cancer grew out of one mother's love for her son who was struggling with cancer at the very young age of 2. That mother saw the Mount Everest of pediatric cancer care that lay in front on her and her family and screamed "I can make a difference in making our needs heard around the cancer community." Ultimately she lost her son, but she did not loose her resolve to help as many people as possible fight the savage that is pediatric cancer. CFKC is a grass roots, one bakesale at a time, group that makes it easy for anyone to pick up a sword and fight. All you need to do is host a bakesale, or a rainbow loom sale, or a penny drive and collect donations and send them in via snail mail or online donation. It's that easy. They have a thorough and easy to navigate website that has all the tools one needs to have a great community event that will raise both awareness and much needed funds for pediatric cancer research. Get baking!

I think lots of people have dreams and ideas about making a difference, but few people can actually make things happen. When the Witt's learned that their sweet Prince Liam had cancer, one that was not "profitiable" for pharmaceutical companies to invest in, they did something about it, they started Cookies for Kids Cancer. They did this while their sweet Liam had no evidence of disease, they did it for all the other children who were fighting and suffering. After losing their son, they continue to inspire and motivate people everywhere to do what they can to make a difference and raise money for this important cause.
While there are thousands of non profits that people can choose to give their time and money to, CFKC is doing wonderful things with the money they raise and will no doubt be the reason that children will survive childhood cancer.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer is an absolutely fantastic organization. Besides having raised millions for pediatric cancer research, they provide a wonderful support system for people who want to get involved. It's the simple act of "doing something" that is appreciated. They make it easy to create and host your own events, no matter if it's a neighborhood bakesale or a larger city wide event. I founded a CFKC 5K in Charlotte, NC and was overwhelmed with the support I received from the CFKC community. The passion and commitment behind this organization is powerful.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer is a fantastic organization making a true difference in how pediatric cancer is treated. The concept is simple and sweet: By holding bake sales, anyone and everyone can raise money that goes directly to leading scientists around the world performing cutting-edge research on drugs and surgeries that maximize kids' odds of survival. Neither the federal government nor big drug companies do anything substantial in terms of furthering pediatric cancer research. It is up to individuals. The founder's son died of neuroblastoma after a brutal, multi-year fight, and she carries forward with Cookies in his name and the name of every child still in the war. She is dedicated, passionate and utterly inspirational, as is her core group of staff and volunteers. Anyone looking for an organization making a difference in the lives of the sickest kids need look no further. Cookies is it.

I am preparing for our 2nd annual CFKC bake sale which involves our entire community. Everyone wants to support us because Cookies for Kids' Cancer has such a stellar reputation and all the money raised is donated to further pediatric cancer research.

Our event honors 5-year old Logan Wight who lost his battle with AT/RT on Feb. 11, 2012. Logan's family will be flying from California to Florida to attend our community bake sale. They support our efforts in raising funds for research so that no other child has to endure what their sweet boy went through.

Amazing organization who has brought a lot of awareness to the lack of funding available for pediatric cancer. From a grassroot effort of one single person, this organization has grown and now funded a broad range of clinical trials.

They truly care about each and every supporter and make an effort to keep them in the loop and let them know how much their support matters to the cause. The money raised by Cookies is very thoughtfully donated to hospitals and individuals that can make the best use of the money and make sure it gets to the children in need as fast as possible.

After I started working at the dental office I was touched by parents and grandparents who would talk about their child or grandchild that was currently was going through treatment for some type cancer. It touched me so that I went online to see if there was anything I could do to raise awareness of pediatric cancer. My search brought me to Cookies for Kid's Cancer and I feel in love with idea of having a bake sale to raise money and awareness. I love to ake so this was a perfect match for me. I held my first bake sell a year ago and raised more than I thought I would. If was just my 2 adult children, my husband and myself. I was so surprised at the response we got in front of Stop and Shop, Groton Connecticut. Also, I was so impressed with the support I got from The staff at Cookies for Kid's Cancer, were so helpful and so supportive while I was planning and even after I held the bake sale. I can not think of a better non profit group than Cookie's for Kid's Cancer. They are helping our future in such a positive way. Thank you for all do, best wishes from a volunteer for ever.

I held a couple of bake sales during some of my kids' activities (dance performance and Science Fair) because it was the right thing to do. You can't get much more efficient than nearly 100% of the donation going straight to pediatric cancer research. It was easy. It was fun. And I did very little baking as there were plenty of donations from my friends who understand how important this mission is because they have their own kids. The following year I ran out of time to organize a bake sale during the Science Fair (because I was working while organizing the science fair itself.) My 12 year old daughter asked if she could organize it for me. I agreed to let her do it and she was able to organize the entire thing herself with the help of the other kids in her school. She had donations coming in from friends in other states! It was phenomenal to see the kids mobilize to take up a cause they knew mattered. What a great lesson for them to learn that they can make a difference, one cookie at a time.

Her pain and sorrow was so palpable and so moving at the loss of their beloved Liam, that my family and I were moved to do something to help this amazing family and so many others that have lost children to his horrible disease and to hopefully do our part to eradicate pedatric cancer! We held a bakesale at our elementary school in Schertx Texas that May (2011) in honor of Liam Witt's life close to the date on what would have been his 7th birthday. It was such a success and folks were so moved and generous -- Cookies provided us with everything we need to make the sale a success and it was an experience that my children and I will never forget. We recently moved from TX with the Army but hope to repeat the sale again this coming May in PA. THANK YOU to Cookies for their inspiration, assistance to so many deserving families and their beautiful message of hope, one cookie at a time.

My family joined The Cookies For Kids' Cancer team several years ago and we've been hooked ever since. For us, Cookies Gor Kids' Cancer is not just about raising money. It's about making a difference in the lives of others. The reason my family and I feel such an attachment to Cookies For Kids' Cancer is because they are so different than any other charity out there. They go right to the source of the problem. They go to the research centers that need the money and give 100% of the profits directly to them so they can continue research an help combat this terrible disease. My family has been with Cookies almost since the start and we've been so glad to see them grow so exponentially in a matter of years. They are such friendly people and only have one goal: to help pediatric cancer research and awareness anyway they can. That's the reason that keeps drawing me back to this charity. Not because they help combat pediatric cancer. Not because they give 100% of there profits to the source. Because they care about what they do more than any charity out there and only live to help their cause. Cookies For Kids' Cancer has changed my life in so many ways and I'll alway remember the dedication they showed to this great cause.

For two years in a row I have organized my town in a community wide effort to raise money for Cookies for Kids' Cancer. When I read Liam Witt's story and searched through the CFKC website and facebook page, I was immediately drawn in to do whatever I could to help raise money to fight pediatric cancer. We organized bake sales at all five elementary schools and many preschools in our town. Baking playdates occurred everyday throughout the month of May. Kids used their hands to make cookies, creativity to design posters and voices and spirit to sell cookies. We raised over $10,000 this year and can't wait to raise even more this year. "Kids helping kids" is the slogan that I connected to and I'll hopefully be helping out for a long time, both as a pediatrician, mom, girl scout leader and baker!

Incredible organization based off of a simple idea: bake sales. Cookies For Kids' Cancer helps fund research for new treatments that will hopefully make the diagnosis of pediatric cancer not seem so scary one day. This organization was founded by loving parents and grows through the love and support of volunteers around the country. Everyone knows someone affected by cancer, and everyone can bake or buy cookies. Cookies For Kids' Cancer makes it easy to get involved, engage your community and make a difference for the most worthy of causes. My group of friends hosted an event last April called, 'The Queen City's Mom Prom,' and together we raised $20,000. We honored mothers currently living the nightmare of pediatric cancer as our Prom Queens and we hope to raise even more this April.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer is an awesome organization! I had the opportunity to co-host a large bake sale in South Alabama last month. A bake sale is a simple event to put together, and CFKC also allows the volunteers hosting bake sales to add to or change the event if they so feel. For instance our Bake Sale included a silent auction, live music, autograph signing (AJ McCarron w/ UA), a baseball tournament, and a bounce house. The ladies with CFKC were there to answer questions and/or to give suggestions along the way. Our event raised over $10,000.00.
Our CFKC Bake Sale was so successful that we have decided to make this an annual event.

My daughter, diagnosed at a young age with cancer, and cancer free since then, inspired me to want to do something to give back. I wanted to do something to make a difference. I started doing research, and learned of Cookies for Kids Cancer! I loved the story and the inspiration of CFKC....and what a great, realistic way to raise money for an incredible necessary cause. Early 2010, when I was organizing my first bake sale, they were so helpful and supportive and supplied the necessary advice and supplies for a successful bake sale. My first bake sale fundraiser was last year, and raised over $3,000! I completed my second one in May, in honor of Liam, and raised over $1600! I feel so great being part of an organization that helps get family, friends, children and neighbors, businesses, involved that want to give back as well.

Cookies for Kid's Cancer is an AMAZING organization, founded by two AMAZING parents out of their love for their son, Liam. When Liam was diagnosed with cancer at 2 1/2 years old, they realized how underfunded pediatric cancer research is and vowed to make a change. They created a way for anyone to help raise money for children's cancer research. Moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandparents, teachers, neighbors.... WHOEVER you are....you can help. Hold a bake sale, the web site walks you through it and the support from the organization along the way is outstanding. Buy some cookies for yourself, or send some to a friend.... it is so easy! I will continue to support this organization for the rest of my life, but hope that I see the day that it is no longer necessary. Until then, I will keep raising money to honor Liam who unfortunately lost his battle at the age of 6 1/2, and to help all of the other children out there still in the fight. They NEED us!

This organization is AWESOME! They are well organized & have all the information on their website to help you host a bake sale. Having access to that information made organizing the sale seem simple. Our youth group is a small group and they were excited to be able to be involved in such a worthy cause. Working with Cookies for Kids' Cancer has been an uplifting experience for our youth group and church community. We are blessed to have been able to participate.

Pediatric cancer is grossly underfunded. In order for us to have an impact on the lives of children with cancer, there needs to be RESEARCH. Cookies for Kids' Cancer has empowered everyday people to make a huge impact on the world of pediatric cancer research. The organization has made huge results with the help of people simply baking cookies and selling them in their community. The concept of local bake sales brings communities together and allows the entire family to be involved in changing the world.

If you want to support an organization that can really make a difference, CookiesforKidsCancer.org is for you! This relatively new charity (4 years old) has broken new ground in all areas of fundraising as far as I’m concerned. There is no stone left unturned…no amount too small or too large to be contributed… no contribution you can make of time or talent that goes unnoticed. What’s more compelling is that 100% of the profits go to the cause. Pediatric Cancer better watch out, you are on full notice that YOU WILL BE STAMPED OUT…GONE…ERADICATED…at the earliest possible moment. This group of dedicated individuals will continue to fight to the finish…if you want a winning team you found one!
