By: Erin Moore for Body1Nonprofit organization CancerCare has launched their fourth annual “Cupcakes for a Cause” fundraiser this week. The yearly event brings bakeries around the country together to create specially decorated cupcakes and donate a portion of profits to the CancerCare for Kids® program. The program provides free counseling and other services to children affected by cancer, and their families.
This year CancerCare has partnered with Merkle, a marketing agency in New York, to unveil a Web site that allows users to send virtual cupcakes to family and friends. This new component of the campaign brings awareness to CancerCare and related issues, and raises money, as a small fee is required when sending an e-cupcake.
