Great Chappaqua Bake Sale Breaks Fundraising Record
Best event yet, say the co-chairs, noting that the community has given $100,000 in 5 years to give hungry children 1 million meals
Good news from Allison Spiegel, Holly Blum & Jessica Reinmann, Great Chappaqua Bake Sale Co-Chairs:
Wind nor rain could derail the 6th Annual Great Chappaqua Bake Sale (GCBS)!
Year six turned out to be our best event yet despite stormy weather and a last minute change of venue. No matter the challenges outside, inside the Chappaqua community reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to the fight against childhood hunger.

Supporters came out to purchase sweet treats and raffle tickets and to visit the Kids’ Corner complete with tattoos, candy guessing jar and -- new this year -- the sale of GCBS piggy banks to help inspire children to make charity a part of their everyday lives.
This year, we hosted our first-ever retail bake sale “Treats To Beat Childhood Hunger” with ten local restaurants and bakeries. Each business designated a GCBS dessert item of the week and 100% of the proceeds were donated to No Kid Hungry.
