Whew!
I have been so busy with Cupcakes for Cancer! It is an organization I founded in order to raise money for the local Cancer Care Center in my area. We sold cupcakes at lunches for $1 each. We are finally done and I am proud to report that we raised $133! My parents were kind enough to match whatever I made (I doubt that they thought we would raise so much from high-schoolers). When I brought the money to our Key Club adviser here at the high school, she saw the $266 and decided to donate the remaining $34 to make it an even $300!!
I
am so happy that it was such a success and I immediately e-mailed
Lakeland hospital about donating the money and they set up a time and a
place at the new Cancer Care Center
in our area. This morning, I got to visit the new center and take a
mini tour of the facilities. It was so beautiful!! And they printed up
a giant check for me to hand to the president of the facility and we
even got to take a couple pictures! It was such a great experience and I
am so thankful for everything I have and that I had the unique
opportunity to give such a huge and appreciated gift back to my
community.
