Baked Goods and Goodness

More than two dozen Hartshorn kindergarten girls sold cookies in front of Splurge Bakery recently to raise money for Cookies For Kids' Cancer, a national charity that supports pediatric cancer research. 

Cookies for Kids' Cancer was founded by the Witt Family, after their son, Liam, was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer.  The first Annual Millburn Cookies for Kids' Cancer Event took place just one day after the day that Liam would have turned seven. 

With the generous support of the community, the Hartshorn girls raised $2890.76 and Glad products is matching their donations for a total of $5781.52.  Donations continue to come in through the event website.

During the bake sale, more than 100 people enjoyed free entertainment at the Bauer Community Center, including Jungle Jon of the Lizard Guys, Tommy Knucklehead, Stories in Motion, Acting with Emily, Sivan Vigder of Music for Aardvarks, Creative Kids, Anya Parker-Lentz, and Soulfege.

The event was co-sponsored by Summit Medical Group and Splurge Bakery.  The kindergarten girls wore T-shirts donated by Gotham. Jordan Elyse photographed the event.
