The BC SPCA is participating in the second annual National Cupcake Day on Feb. 24 and is inviting members of the public to "bake a difference."
Starting now, people can register online at nationalcupcakeday.ca. Participants will receive a free cupcake host welcome package in the mail, which includes a poster, stickers, balloons, fundraising guide and recipes. They may then plan a cupcake party at work, home or school on National Cupcake Day; start fundraising by encouraging friends and family to donate online in advance; bake their favourite cupcakes; share them with family and friends; and collect donations to prevent cruelty to animals. All proceeds will support furry friends, big and small, who have been abused or abandoned, or are in need of help.
"We were thrilled with the response in B.C. last year and can't wait to get even more bakers and animal lovers involved in National Cupcake Day this year," said Kim Monteith, manager, animal welfare, BC SPCA, in a press release.
Celebrity participants include chef Anna Olson of Food Network Canada's Bake with Anna Olson and Kristina Matisic, co-host of Anna and Kristina's Grocery Bag.
