Cookies for Kids Cancer


Today I recruited a few friends, and, together with a few other gracious volunteers, we baked cookies to help Band of Parents in their fight against childhood neuroblastoma and other cancers that affect infants and children.

December is officially holiday cookie season and what could be better than buying cookies that help save kids with cancer. Band of Parents is holding the godfather of all bake sales, baking 96,000 cookies, with virtually all of the proceeds going to the Band of Parents Foundation to benefit research through Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The cookies, all made using recipes from the recently published cookbook, Cookies, by acclaimed cookbook author Sally Sampson, come in three varieties -- Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle and Citrus Shortbread.

The cookies will be baked and sold online until December 17, so please, buy some cookies! Give all the kids fighting neuroblastoma today, and those who will be so unfairly chosen to fight tomorrow, the hope all children deserve. Visit Cookies for Kids Cancer to buy cookies or donate directly.
A gift that tastes as good as it feels to give.

Dear Pastry Princess,
Thank you for your time spent with us in the kitchens. We very, very, very much appreciate it. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes the world to get involved to cure childhood cancers. And for your involvement, we salute you.
