Cupcake *Cookies* for Cullen!


As you have hopefully heard by now, we are doing a fundraiser called "Cupcakes for Cullen" during the month of December! Our friend Angelique will make you six of the most exquisite cupcakes you can imagine for a $25 donation to Cullen's ABA therapy.

But there's a problem: we have had some inquires from out-of-town friends, but we can't ship the cupcakes.

We can, however, ship cookies!

Cookies are available in almond or vanilla and can be customized for any event, just like the cupcakes. Have a look at some examples....we know you won't be able to resist!

So, for all of our out-of-town friends, a donation of $25 or more to "Cupcakes for Cullen" will net you a certificate for a half dozen personalized cookies, carefully packaged and delivered to your door. The certificate is redeemable up to one year, plenty of time to plan for your next special occasion.

FUNDRAISER: CUPCAKES FOR CULLEN!


Q. When was the last time you donated to a great cause and netted six delicious, creative cupcakes at the same time?

A. Face it—it’s been far too long!

This month we are having a fundraiser to help with Cullen's therapy costs. For a donation of $25 or more, you will receive as a thank you gift a half dozen amazing and tasty cupcakes from Sweet Treats by Angelique.

You can request the Autism Awareness puzzle piece cupcakes shown with Cullen above, or choose an alternate theme for your cupcake toppers (a holiday theme, perhaps?). Check out Sweet Treats to see just how creative Angelique can be!

Our goal for this month is to raise $1000 for Cullen, which will pay for the cost of 40 hours of ABA therapy. ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is the most fundamental therapy for children with autism, and the most successful. Studies show that children receiving a minimum of 20 hours per week of ABA therapy have the highest success rates in overcoming the significant developmental deficits of autism.

Donations can be made directly to the Mea’Alofa Autism Support Center: (757) 465-3933 or http://www.learnwithmasc.org/ and click "donate" for PayPal. If you donate online, please make a note that your donation is for “Cupcakes for Cullen.” (The note option appears near the end of the process--you may also use the "Contact" page to send a note to Mea Alofa.)

We will send you a gift certificate for six cupcakes that you can use anytime! Orders must be placed 1-2 weeks in advance, especially through the holiday season.

We are grateful for the many ways we are encouraged by our family and friends. Thank you so much for your interest in our journey with Cullen.
