The 15th of February is International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, and Cupcakes of HOPE is calling on bakers across South Africa to lend a hand. The organisation provides financial assistance to around 200 children with cancer every month, covering medical and essential day-to-day expenses. This is a chance to raise much-needed funds and make a real impact, one cupcake at a time.
How You Can Help
Cupcakes of HOPE has made it easy for anyone to get involved. Here’s how:
Host a Fundraiser
Register your fundraiser on their website: Cupcakes of HOPE
Bake a batch of cupcakes and ask friends, family, or colleagues for a donation of R10-R20 per cupcake.
Set up a Mini Pop-Up Sale at your workplace, church, school, or in your community to help spread Cupcake Love across the country.
Donate the funds you raise to Cupcakes of HOPE and give children with cancer hope for a brighter future.

Get Schools Involved
Schools can play a big role too! Encourage your child’s school to support the cause by hosting a coin collection or bake sale. It’s a simple way to teach children about generosity while making a difference in the lives of kids fighting cancer.
