Cupcake Challenge for the Cure designed to
celebrate life and defeat breast cancer.

Put your cupcake skills to the test and enter
the Cupcake Challenge for the Cure. This free and open to the public event,
will raise funds and awareness about breast cancer in Northern Virginia. The
Cupcake Challenge will be held September 15, 2012 from 11-4pm at Freedom High
School in Woodbridge Virginia. Amateur, pro, team, and youth are all welcome to
show off their baking skills. Not a baker, no worries we are accepting
professional cupcake eaters too. Are you ready for a Cupcake Smack Down?

Prince William County was chosen as a target
community by Susan G. Komen, due to the alarming statistics about breast cancer
prevention and care. Forever A Pear is a walking team that participates in the
Susan G. Komen 3 Day 60 Mile. Funds raised will benefit Susan G. Komen 3 Day.
Team captain Nisi Bennett would love to see those numbers change, immediately.
“Life is meant to be celebrated, no matter what we have to face, if we remember
to be grateful for the little things, we can overcome anything. I couldn’t
think of a better way to celebrate life, then to do it with cupcakes!”  Each member of the Walking team is responsible
for raising a minimum of $2300. “Donations are always accepted”, Visit Susan G. Komen to donate! There is still time to become a vendor or baker,
