Bake Sale April 23rd, 2016
The most ironic part about the bake sale was bringing baked goods such as cupcakes, sugar cookies, M&M cookies, as well as rice krispy treats to sell in front of a “natural foods” Edge of the Woods in New Haven. People who shop here usually avoid sugary foods or are allergic to some ingredients used like eggs or milk. Some are also vegan. On top of that, this weekend was Passover, so those who celebrate that holiday would avoid flour and flour is essential to a baked good.
Despite the obstacles, Katie Schittina (a volunteer) and I adapted the bake sale into a donation stop for bills and short change. The turnout was unexpectedly low, but we were thankful the weather didn’t change on us and the 10am cloudy skies soon became sunny skies. The heat threw us off, and did do harm to our cupcakes. The homemade frosting of one tray of the cupcakes melted! Unfortunately, we didn’t sell many cupcakes, but the large cookies and rice krispy treats were a hit!

Delicious treats sold
We present to you AHS Give A Spit Club’s first bake sale!
Katie S. and I raised $92 today for Be The Match and although we didn’t hit the $100 mark, we will aim higher next year!
$100 will allow one potential donor who signed up to join the registry to have their swab kit be tested using HLA tissue typing. This allows a person to be added to the registry increasing the chances cancer patients have to finding a match to receive a marrow donation.
Thanks,
