Event Highlights 2012

 Dec. 11, 2012

The Freecupcakewraps.com official Cupcakes for Christmas toy drive was this past Saturday and it was nothing short of amazing! Despite the rain and heavy traffic, toy donors gave big! We collected approx. 500 toys to be donated to the Charles County Children’s Aid Society for their Christmas Connection Program.

  

Student volunteers from North Point high school and Girl Scout Troop #2861 helped the toy drive run smoothly. Miss Teen Charles County (Ric'Quel) worked to set up stations and distribute cupcakes while several other volunteers willingly helped where ever they were needed.

 as well as numerous  other delectable cupcakes from volunteer bakers.

Throughout the event, "Wendy" was seen greeting customers, interacting with participants and checking out the cupcakes.

There was even a guest appearance by “Batter” the freecupcakewraps.com baking bear. Participants were eager to take pictures and sign Batter's apron.

Children enjoyed face painting, goodie bags, prizes and designing their own cupcake wrappers.

At the end of the event, we happily donated the remaining cupcakes to the Robert J. Fuller Transitional House (Homeless Shelter for Men) in Waldorf, MD. and Catholic Charities Women’s Shelter in Hughesville, MD.

All in all, Cupcakes for Christmas was truly a success. Our first charitable event was fun for the community and will greatly contribute to putting smiles on the faces of less-fortunate families in St. Charles MD.
