Snickerdoodle, white chocolate macaroon, oatmeal raisin, no-bake, sugar, thumbprint, shortbread, and the always-popular, chocolate chip ... who doesn’t love a good cookie?  

Now, that we've got you craving a yummy, baked treat, let's ask a much more important question: Can a cookie make a difference?  Well, we sure think so.  In fact, we're counting on it.  

As part of Do Something GREAT Day, Macaroni Kid - with the help of many local families - is raising money for Cookies for Kids' Cancer, and we're using a good old fashioned bake sale to make it happen!  All proceeds will benefit research to find a cure for childhood cancer.

Do Something GREAT Day

Cookies for Kids' Cancer Bake Sale
at the Snoqualmie Valley Block Party

September 20 from 10 am to 5 pm


We can't do this without YOUR HELP.   
  • Do you love to bake? We need volunteer bakers to provide the cookies! The more cookies we have to sell, the more money we can raise for this important cause!  A big thanks to all the families who have already volunteered!
  • Want to give your kids first-hand experience with fundraising for an important cause?  We need adorable money-takers (and parents) to work shifts during the event.  The morning shifts are covered thanks to the Gunner Girls soccer team and a few families, but we really need volunteers in the afternoon; 12:45 to 2:00, 1:45 to 3:00, 2:45 to 4:00, and 3:45 to 5:00.

About the Organization:
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity raising money for pediatric cancer research through local bake sales. It was founded by a very determined mother to help increase her young son’s odds in his fight against cancer. In late 2007, she had the idea to bake cookies to sell during the holidays. Her small idea became a huge movement with 96,000 cookies baked and sold during a three-week period with the help of more than 250 dedicated volunteers. Her bake sale raised more than $400,000. During that massive bake sale she realized people want to get involved and help, they just need a way to do so. So Cookies for Kids’ Cancer was created.

Others can get involved with this organization, by simply contacting them thru their website. www.cookiesforkidscancer.org.
