About the cause

We are raising money to support the American Cancer Society’s efforts to find cures for cancer because it is projected that in 2010 over 1,000 Ashevilleans will hear the words, “you have cancer.”

Visit our WHY? section to learn more about why we chose cupcakes, the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life.

Cancer touches us all and cupcakes are a great way to fight back, to fight for hope. If there is someone (family, friend, caregiver or even yourself) you would like to remember or honor, we will place a purple balloon at the event with their name and message from you.
