In 2004 CancerCare launched its Cupcakes for a Cause program to provide free support services to children affected by cancer and their families with the help of a group of bakeries selling specialty decorated cupcakes.

Now a week long event bakeries around the country are selling their specialty cupcakes and donating a portion of sales to the CancerCare for Kids program. This event has had tremendous success but can always do better. The 2008 Cupcakes for a Cause campaign raised nearly $120,000 for CancerCare for Kids.

This year will mark the 6th Annual Cupcakes for a Cause™ Week which will be held September 21–27, 2009.
