Wow! Just Wow. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to everyone who came out for the MKEfoodies Holiday Bake Sale over the weekend.We had an amazing time. There was milk donated by Outpost Natural Foods, and door prizes provided by numerous Milwaukee business, including Purple Door Ice Cream, Bartolotta's Restaurants, Meritage, Stone Creek Coffee and countless others.
Peef was the most adorable Santa Claus you ever did see, and everyone had tons of fun chatting and buying cookies and feeling REALLY awesome about raising money for such a great cause.
We thought it was pretty amazing when we SOLD OUT of cookies in the first hour and a half of the bake sale. But, we found it even more amazing when we started counting. Turns out we sold over 1900 cookies and baked goods, and made just over $1600 for Cookies for Kids' Cancer. While that amount, in and of itself might not be impressive, it gets better. With the dollar-for-dollar match from OXO, and the $1 per cookie match from the Glad Corporation, our total reaches over $5,000!
If you ask me, that's a pretty darned good bake sale! So, THANK YOU to everyone who supported our efforts this year. And, if you live in the Milwaukee area, please mark your calendars for the second weekend in December next year for the 3rd Annual Bake Sale!
