Bake the world a better place

Helping those in need is a piece of cake this August. By baking and raising money, you will be supporting Red Cross programs to help improve the lives of vulnerable people in Australia and across the region.

To take part, everyone is invited to get together with friends, family or colleagues and bake your favourite cake, slice, pie, cookie, cupcake, savoury dish or dessert. Events can include a morning or afternoon tea, cake sale, baking or cake decorating competition.

By baking and raising funds, you will be helping Red Cross to continue its work in Australia and across the region, from assisting elderly and isolated people to stay in their home, to providing a nutritious breakfast for children who might otherwise go to school hungry, and responding to natural disasters as soon as they occur including relief and recovery assistance for people and communities affected.

The official event date is Monday, 31 August 2015, but events can be held anytime, anywhere throughout August. When you register, you’ll get a fundraising host kit with all the tools you need to run a successful event including promotional posters, bunting, a donation box, fundraising guide and more.
