BAKE SALE PLANNED MARCH 15 IN TIMONIUM TO SUPPORT BELLA’S BATTALION

TIMONIUM, MD. – Lily Cavallaro, 13,
whose younger sister Bella suffers from Type 1 diabetes, has organized a bake
sale for March 15, starting at 9 a.m., to raise funds for Bella’s Battalion.

“I
wanted to do something to help my sister and diabetes research,” Lily said.
“Come out and see all the stuff we have. Buy something or make a donation so we
can help find a cure for diabetes – for Bella and everyone else who suffers
from it.”

The bake sale, featuring a wide
range of healthy and other baked goods, will be held outside J & J
Alterations & Cleaning at 2434 Broad Ave. in the Broad Street Market
Center, just off West Padonia Road, near I-83.

Since
2010, Bella’s Battalion has raised thousands of dollars to support the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation. Money raised from Lily’s bake sale will be
donated to Bella’s Battalion, whose more than 150 volunteers will participate
in the annual JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, scheduled for April 5, at M & T
Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Bella’s Battalion has been the largest group to
participate in the walk in 2012 and 2013.

Family
members and friends will donate the baked goods.

Bella’s Battalion
is named in honor of Bella Cavallaro, 11, who was diagnosed with Type 1
diabetes in November 2009. The daughter of Angela and Mark Cavallaro, Bella and
Lily attend St. Joseph’s School in Texas, Md.
