Beverly/Morgan Park resident Caroline Dwan and 30 of her friends are taking fundraising for breast cancer a new level. Part bake sale-part sassy but memorable message, the ladies have come up with a unique way to raise funds for the Little Company of Mary Hospital Comprehensive Breast Health Center.
Dwan’s group, named the D-Cups, will each bake a dozen cupcakes, then decorate them to look like women's breasts, both clothed and au natural. Cupcakes will be on sale for $5 a pair from 7 to 11 a.m. at the 9th Annual Beverly Walk Against Breast Cancer, Mother’s Day, Sun., May 11, at Ridge Park, 96th and Longwood Drive.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Little Company of Mary Comprehensive Breast Health Center and the group hopes to raise $1,000.
"Each of the women who are baking for the D-Cups have loved women who have lost the battle and even more who have survived breast cancer,” Dwan said. The innovative bakers are hoping that their clever fund raiser elicits not just money but more awareness for breast cancer.
Cash and checks made out to Little Company of Mary Hospital will be accepted. For more information about the D-Cups cupcake sale, contact Caroline Dwan, 312-816-5737 or carolinedwan@sbcglobal.net.
