Cookies for a Cause

Host a Cookies For Kids’ Cancer™ bake sale and Glad will match all funds raised by the charity, up to $100,000

This holiday season, The Glad Products Company is partnering with Cookies for Kids’ Cancer™, a 501c3 non-profit, to help increase awareness of pediatric cancer and raise money to support research for new and improved therapies. Host a holiday bake sale to benefit the charity, and Glad® will match all funds raised by Cookies for Kids’ Cancer™ this November and December, up to $100,000. Those who register to host a bake sale can receive a free bake sale starter kit with GladWare® containers, recipes and a bake sale guide by visiting www.GladtoGive.com.

Cookies for Kids’ Cancer™ was started by parents of a young child with pediatric cancer. After absorbing the fact that an aggressive form of cancer called neuroblastoma was attacking their son Liam’s two-and-a-half-year-old body, they soon learned that in the U.S., cancer claims the lives of more children under age 18 than any other disease¹. Their doctors said that part of the reason why is because not enough money is being spent on pediatric cancer research.

Since the day of Liam’s diagnosis on February 26, 2007, they have pledged together to make it a priority to contribute to the development of new and better treatments for all children battling cancer. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer™ is dedicated to raising funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancer. Through the concept of local bake sales, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer™ provides the inspiration and support for individuals, communities and businesses to help fight pediatric cancer.
