We recently learned about the Cookies for Kids' Cancer foundation from our friend, Melanie Underwood, Chef-Instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education, and have decided to contribute to this organization which supports the important work being done to raise awareness about pediatric cancer research.
Isaiah Clark House has made a commitment to donate 5% of the revenue earned on all guest reservations for stays during the month of July 2010 to this organization.
Cookies for Kids' Cancer a nonprofit foundation dedicated to raising funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research. This grass-roots organization was started by a mom who desperately wanted to help her child (and dozens of other families) battle a deadly form of pediatric cancer known as Neuroblastoma. She was shocked to learn that a scant 30% of children survive this form of cancer.
What could she do? What did she do? She organized a 'larger-than-life' bake sale. You might be surprised to learn that the commitment of one mom and hundreds of volunteers resulted in the sale of 96,000 cookies at a profit of over $400,000 on their first bake sale. Thus "Cookies for Kids' Cancer" came to life and allow schools, clubs, churches, businesses, and individuals to raise thousands of dollars to directly support research done at Comprehensive Cancer Centers around the US. You can learn more by visiting the Cookies for Kids' Cancer website.
We hope you will be staying at our Cape Cod Bed and Breakfast, Isaiah Clark House during the month of July and take part by doing nothing more than making your reservation, knowing that we will be contributing 5% of the revenue generated from your stay to this most worthwhile organization.
The cookies are on us.
