Cupcakes for a Cure

Join Us for the 13th Annual Cupcakes for a Cure

To benefit the Centra Cancer Fund

Saturday, April 27, 2024  | 3:00 – 6:00 p.m.

The 13th annual Cupcakes for a Cure fundraiser will be held on the Saturday of Spring Family Weekend, April 27, from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm in Barksdale Gymnasium! There’s no better way to spend a beautiful spring day than by enjoying unlimited cupcakes and the chance to win raffle prizes and auction items: all to support a wonderful local cause. All proceeds will directly benefit the Centra Cancer Fund, which “supports the patients, families and communities served by Centra Cancer Care Services, and invests in the latest cancer-fighting technologies and state-of-the-art facilities and services needed to provide patients and their families with excellent cancer care.”  We are asking for your support in the form of your attendance and donations . And of course, for the namesake of the event, cupcakes; these can be dropped off at Front Jett Lobby on Friday, April 26 until 8:00 p.m., or on Saturday, April 27 before 3:00 p.m.

Contact us with questions and thank you in advance for supporting this special cause!
