GET INVOLVED:
The #MandelaCupcakeChallenge encourages individuals and corporates to bake, buy or donate. You can bake your 100 cupcakes and help raise R1000 for a child with cancer, by registering online at www.cupcakesofhope.org or order your Mandela Cupcakes, for a donation of R10 per cupcake at www.cupcakesofhope.org and share in the legacy around Mandela’s Centenary, and help children with cancer.
Alternatively, you can donate R1000 to sponsor a cancer patient’s monthly expenses, in honour of your own cancer hero, whose name will be placed at the base of the World’s Largest Mandela Cake in Sandton City’s Centre Court. By donating R1000, you are assisting Cupcakes of Hope to help between 50-70 cancer patients every month by paying for their medication and daily expenses such as nappies, nutrition and the necessary transport to receive their medical treatments.
Corporates can also get involved by sponsoring a cancer patient for a year, and in return the company logo will be placed at the base of the World’s Largest Mandela Cake in Sandton City’s Centre Court. A section 18A certificate will also be issued for all donations received.
