SEEKING BAKERS, DESSERT MAKERS & PURCHASERS OF SWEET TREATS:
Looking for a way to contribute to the Auction? Your donation of a dessert for a table of 10 can bring in hundreds of dollars during the Dessert Dash. If you have a dessert that you love to create, we would appreciate your donation. Maybe you have a family member with a signature dessert; ask them if they would be willing to bake something for your child’s school. Non-bakers don’t fret! It can be as easy as purchasing a cake from one of our fabulous local bakeries.
Please SIGN UP if you can help. Thanks!
