FOURTH ANNUAL a cake 4 a cure Fundraiser


The fourth annual Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day is coming up soon - on June 23rd... in just ONE MONTH! That means my fourth annual "a cake 4 a cure" raffle / fundraiser is kicking off too!! Please visit the fundraising website to make a donation. I will keep track of all donations and entries into the drawing.

Donate here!! https://www.youcaring.com/dravetsyndromefoundation-809095 
More details on the raffle can be found on this post below! 

The donation site will close on June 23rd and a winner will be announced on June 24th! 

ALL money will be donated to the Dravet Syndrome Foundation in honor of Luella and to help find a cure! In the past 3 years we've sent over $4,000 to the Dravet Syndrome Foundation!!



Last year's winner was Vicki Murra. Her cake will be in the works this year... I was busy during the time she wanted a cake last year so she is on my calendar!! I think it'll be something fun for her boys' birthday!! :-)

So, how does this raffle work? Each entry into the cake drawing is $5. If you donate $50 - you will get 10 entries into the drawing. This is basically a LOCAL raffle since I will not ship a cake. However... this year I decided if someone from a distance donates and wins, I WILL do 2 DOZEN cookies (decorated sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies) and ship them!! I WILL deliver a cake to the winner in Luverne, Sioux Falls or Estelline areas OR you may pick up the cake in Luverne.

Please visit the fundraiser website to make a donation!! 


**Now for the fine print... 

1. I will only deliver to Luverne MN, Sioux Falls SD or Estelline SD areas or areas in between OR you may pick up the cake in Luverne. NOTE – If you live outside these areas, you may still donate but you will NOT be eligible for a cake... only cookies that I can ship. 


2. The cake will be a 10" round cake (or equivalent). This would be a great sized cake for a birthday with 20-25 guests! 


3. The cake will not exceed 12 hours to make – this eliminates some of my more extravagant cakes. 


4. Cake must be “ordered” at least 4 weeks in advance. I will try to be available, although please understand that we get busy at times and may have travel planned. I would ask that you be flexible and maybe have another occasion in mind. 


5. The donation website will close down at midnight on June 23rd and a winner will be announced on Luella's blog and the fundraising site on June 24th!!
