Who are The Cupcake Kids

and what do they do?

The Cupcake Kids was really the kids’ idea.  They had been watching their parents becoming involved with a ministry in Uganda, Africa called SixtyFeet and they wanted to help out in their own way.  “Why don’t we sell cupcakes and lemonade on the corner one afternoon and give all the money to the kids in Africa?” they said one day.  Okay, why not?  So we gathered some friends, designed a sign or two, baked some adorable cupcakes and sat out on the street corner.  Some folks showed up.  And God showed up…big time!

As moms and dads who are involved in ministries both here in the US and internationally, we really wanted our children to grow up with compassionate hearts for others…to look beyond their own wants and desires and address other peoples’ desperate needs.  That’s what makes The Cupcake Kids so special.  Not only was it created by kids, it blesses children half way around the world.  And it’s the perfect way to get your kids and family involved in missional work!

In April of 2011, we had our very first {Inter}National Cupcake Kids sale.  The Cupcake Kids had over 140 sales in 35 states and 5 countries!  Children all over the world helped to raise over $70,000 for SixtyFeet! (And this number continued to grow as folks kept hosting Cupcake Kid sales well past April!)

This year, the {Inter}National Cupcake Kids sale will be held on May 4, 2013.  Please remember, you don’t have to have your Cupcake Kid’s sale on this exact date – any day of the year will do!  And you don’t have to sell just cupcakes…we’ve had folks from all over sell coffee on Day Light’s Savings, host benefit concerts, make adorable cupcake crafts….just about anything to raise awareness for the precious children in Uganda.

Anyone can become a Cupcake Kid and help raise awareness for SixtyFeet.  Find out how you can host your very own Cupcake Kid sale.  Feel free to put your own spin on your Cupcake Kid sale.  God has gifted each of us differently – use the talent He has given you!
