Baking a Difference Together

Join Team CCF and families across the country in our nationwide bake initiative to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cardiomyopathy research. Hosting a Bake for a Cure event in your community is a fun way to get everyone involved. Together, we can bake a difference for children with cardiomyopathy!

Getting Started

CCF is ready to assist you with brainstorming, planning, and promoting your virtual or in-person Bake for a Cure event. To get started, review CCF's Planning Guidebook and Bake for a Cure Resource Page. Once you have details of your event, complete a Bake for a Cure Registration Form and we will get in touch with you to set up your personal fundraising page.

Event Planning

  • Form a bake team of family, friends, co-workers, club members, or classmates to assist in event planning and baking.
  • If an in-person event, find a high traffic area at your local school, workplace, place of worship, or community center.
  • If a virtual event, arrange a pickup date and location for baked goods sold online.
  • Set up an online fundraising page on Facebook or JustGiving for bake purchases and donations.
  • Look for recipes and decorating ideas on CCF's Pinterest page.
  • Determine your assortment of cookies, cupcakes, brownies, cakes, and other snacks.
  • Plan and promote your bake sale using our Bake for a Cure Resources.
