money was raised for minot

last week i posted here about money for minot, a fundraiser for the flood victims in minot.

i want to thank each one of you who donated!

i’m beyond pleased. people were writing checks for $100 and over. a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!

a big thank you goes to go radio broadcasting, wday-am and the american red cross.

here are some pictures of people being rewarded with some of the baking cup sweets i donated to the event.

money for minot

the city of minot is in need of my help and yours. the souris {mouse} river has flooded minot braking the 1881 all-time record.

nevertheless, more than 4,000 houses have been damaged as the souris streamed the levees the past two days. heartbreaking.

here in fargo, and everywhere in the state of north dakota, people are coming together to help our far away neighbors of minot. if you are not familiar with the geography, minot is 5 hours northwest of fargo.

go radio broadcasting, a radio group in fargo, is putting together money for minot, along with wday-am and the american red cross, to help raise funds for the minot flood victims. they are gathering all its talent and staff on monday, june 27 from 8am to 6pm at the holiday inn parking lot on 13th avenue south {right across from west acres mall}.

the baking cup is donating cupcakes & cheesecakes to money for minot with all the proceeds going to our friends in need.

make sure you stop by and make your donation. oh, and get a cupcake or cheesecake, too.

baking for a great cause

a couple of months ago i check my email inbox and scan subject line after subject line. (you know your typical get 30% off today + free shipping. or. don’t miss this week’s sales on so and so products. or better yet. a reminder to renew that magazine you haven’t subscribed to since 2005. really? if i haven’t renewed by now why bother emailing me with your renewal notice?)

yeah. back on the subject line. this one was very special. it read:

“habitat for humanity event”

i open it right away.

it was an invitation to a silent art auction to be held here in fargo.

“Home is where the Art is” was held in the beginning of february at the spirit room gallery in downtown, baby! all the proceeds went to the amazing cause of habitat for humanity – lake agassiz. the art was displayed in a unique & chic way.

i didn’t hesitate to answer back with a yes. actually it was more like: yes.yes. yes! not to mention that the baking cup was one of just a few selected businesses to participate at the event!

to me, all charities are awesome. and just to think i was going to give a bit of the baking cup sweetness for a good cause, it was unreal.

thanks for all that you do habitat for humanity.

here are two new flavors of the baking cup: lemon-lime cupcakes and oreo cheesecake cupcakes.
