Online Bake Sale for a Cause-The American Cancer Society and More Birthdays


I am excited to be planning my first fund raising event for my team,  Life's a Beach, for The  American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. June 24th-25th.. I have a personal goal of $1000, and all the monies raised will go to the American Cancer Society and benefits all types of cancer.  From the day you are diagnosed with cancer, you are a survivor to fight the biggest battle of your life .We all deserve a world with less cancer and more Birthdays.

I will be hosting an Online Bake Sale which will be Monday, May 2nd. I am looking for anyone who wants to bake and donate baked goods to be auctioned off on the Online Bake Sale Monday, May 2nd.  The deadline to enter is Thursday, April 28th. If you are interested in participating, please e-mail me at beckysbakingandcooking@gmail.com.  If you do not want to bake, you can certainly bid, or just make a donation to My Donation Page  Again, all monies raised go to the American Cancer Society to fight all types of cancer.Every Dollar counts!
I am a 15 yr. Melanoma Cancer survivor, and have been a Team Captain for 7 yrs. Besides being a cancer survivor, so many people in my life have been affected by Cancer.  My Mom had Multiple Myeloma , my brother Tim, is currently undergoing aggressive chemo for the third time for a rare form of Leukemia, my cousin has lung cancer, and I have lost 2 dear friends to cancer. I was so overwhelmed  with all of these people fighting, cancer I had to do something, and went to a Relay for Life. I'm sure that you know a friend or family member that had been affected by cancer A Relay for Life is is a lfe changing event to Celebrate the life you have, Remember those that have lost their fight, and Fight Back to beat cancer.

Thank You for your Help! Also Thank you  Steph!, from Steph's Bite by Bite. for her inspiration and encouragement. Steph had an Online Bake Sale January 31st for her  Team in Training.
