Cook for the Cure Celebrates its 10th Year

September 7th, 2012 by Vicki No comments »

Breast cancer: it’s an issue that the divine.ca team takes to heart. And we’re always proud of various brands that also support the cause along with us.

One company that has been on the forefront of spreading awareness and helping to raise funds is KitchenAid. Partnering up with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation since 2002, the brand has launched “pink” products in support of the cause, and also started the Cook for the Cure campaign.

How does the latter work? By simply hosting a cooking-slash-fundraising party for friends, family and loved ones, and have your guests make a donation to the CBCF. Once you make your donation, KitchenAid will contribute $50 for each party held. And this year, be sure to share your photos via Facebook, and your party just may be feature on KitchenAid Canada’s Facebook page.

With this being the campaign’s 10th anniversary, we hope you’ll take the initiative to host your own party to raise funds for the cause! Visit cookforthecure.ca for advice on hosting one. Also, courtesy of Chef Lynn Crawford, KitchenAid shared with us one of her recipes for yummy cupcakes, perfect for baking with friends on the big day! (Find it after the jump.)
