Help support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer

Cancer is a scary diagnosis, no matter what age, but I think it might be the worst when you’re a kid. This year I’m doing my part to help support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, first in participating in the 2nd Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, and second by sharing some very easy ways you can participate as well during this season of giving, love and family.

Via the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, I made a donation to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer as part of the swap guidelines (so easy!) then got entered in to swap 3 dozen cookies with my fellow bakers. I’m still perfecting my recipe, but I think I have a good one and will be sharing with everyone in mid-December.

But better yet, OXO has announced that it will match the donation from the cookie swap dollar for dollar, up to $100,000. Talk about fantastic.

Now I have some suggestions for things you can do to help support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer:

• Donate!
• Send cookies as a gift. 100% of the net proceeds from your purchase will directly fund pediatric cancer research.
• Host a bake sale. This might be a little labor-intensive, but if you have the time and a group who could bake together, you could have the makings of a great sale to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.
• Participate in the Glad Mom Made Holiday Virtual Cookie Exchange. It’s cute, easy, and every virtual cookie sent results in a donation from Glad to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.
