Bake to the Future Collaboration!

Thanks for posting this information, Shel! Can you explain more about to which particular charity any funds are going to be directed, and how exactly funds are getting raised through this collaboration? The fundraising component wasn't clear to me. Thanks again!

The way I'm hoping it will work is that everyone designs and makes their own cookies and then late September/early October they begin to post them on their own page, telling everyone about the collaboration etc. Then sell them like they normally would, if they're a business, or to family and friends etc.

The money raised is then donated to their local parkinson's charity/hospital unit etc. and I'll keep a tally of how much we've raised between us. Here in the UK, we have created a 'team' on a donation website called Just Giving. Anyone can create a donation page and join up but there doesn't appear to be a US (for example) parkinson's charity here to donate to and I'm not sure how people would feel donating money outside their own country.

In case you're wondering my first thought was to create a page at the Fox Foundation but they require $50 to start up and I just don't have it.

Sorry, I would've explained all that in my initial post but as it's on the FB group I didn't think about it! Sorry!

Hope that clears it up

Thanks, yes, that's helpful, Shel!

I googled Fox Foundation and one hit was for Grant  Is this the same?

Is the Foundation home base in Durham NC?

Don't know, Dona. I'm a little confused about how this is working too. All I see are a similar event description on the Facebook page and a donation page, without any charity (just a cause) mentioned on either. Shel, I think you might get more participation if the benefiting organization was clearer. Perhaps everyone is supposed to donate to their own charity (??), but I'm then not sure how the donation page works . . . why submit there and not directly to the charity of choice??
