Dessert with a Purpose

How we fund is simple and often delicious! Whether you wish to bake, eat, learn, donate, or sponsor, you can make breast cancer research possible. Funds raised and donated to Bakes for Breast Cancer go toward specific breast cancer research projects so you know exactly where your contribution goes.

Our Medical Advisory Board ensures the funds we raise are being put to the best use. They direct the funds to help oncologists kick off research projects with the aim of bringing about an end to cancer.

Baking

Events

During one week each year, restaurants and purveyors of sweet treats — bakeries, cafes, grocery stores, sweet shops, ice cream stores, and the like — take part in our Bakes for Breast Cancer events.

Businesses register and provide a signature dessert for dine-in or delivery, we spread the word to guests, and proceeds of the dessert sales are donated. Easy as pie!
