In May, Barista Kids was part of the huge Montclair bake sale to benefit Cookies For Kids’ Cancer. We had a wonderful time doing crafts with local kids and helping out this very important cause.
Cookies For Kids’ Cancer raises funds for pediatric cancer research through local bake sales. It was founded by Gretchen Witt, to help increase her young son’s odds in his cancer battle. When 2.5-year-old Liam was diagnosed, Gretchen was shocked to learn that the main reason over 25 percent of kids diagnosed with cancer do not survive is because of a lack of effective therapies. And the reason for the lack of therapies was very simple: lack of funding. Sadly Liam lost his battle to the disease in January.
Little One & Co., the Maplewood children’s boutique that carries modern clothing will be hosting their own Cookies for Kids’ Cancer Bake Sale at Maplewood’s 4th annual Girls Night Out. Owner Hanh Truong says she was inspired by the organization’s mission and hopes you will join Little One & Co. in raising money to go towards finding better therapies for pediatric cancer.
It woudln’t be a real ”Girls Night Out” without wine, desserts and some swag. Little One & Co. will make sure to provide plenty of those too. The Village will be filled with shopping and dining festivities with 20+ merchants participating and offering everything from chair massages, wine & chocolate tastings, raffles, trunk shows, signature cocktails, dinner and drink specials, and more.
If you would like to support Cookies for Kids Cancer, but cannot make the event, visit here to make your contribution and find out more about pediatric cancer.
If you want to help, Hahn is also looking for volunteers to help make the treats, share the treats & spread the word!
