Sweeten Up Your Family Fun

Turn your family's favorite activity into a charitable bake sale

Recipe for Chocolate Chip Cherry Cookies

(Family Features) - Between family reunions, sports leagues and neighborhood block parties, there are many activities and annual traditions that families look forward to. This year you can make these events even more meaningful by transforming them into charitable bake sales to benefit a worthy cause.

This is a simple - and fun - way to enhance your favorite events, spend time together and teach kids the valuable lesson of giving back. Plus, there are many great charities that can benefit from your efforts, such as Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a non-profit committed to raising funds for pediatric cancer research through bake sales.

Baking and sharing homemade treats with friends and family, the fun of a bake sale and knowing that you're giving back with each cookie sold, will make your outings even more special.

Here are some tips and ideas to turn three classic activities into successful bake sales:

Sports Leagues

Your delicious baked treats can be used for more than just a snack at your children's next game. Choose a sports tournament or opening day at the neighborhood field as the perfect setting for a bake sale home run. Designate a baked good for each participating team, such as the Bengals Brownies or Crusaders Chocolate Chip Cookies, and see who can score the most points by selling the most treats for a good cause. Drive home winning donations with sports-themed cookies and treats like baseball bat cookies or cupcakes decorated like soccer balls.

Family Reunions

Make the annual family gathering even more memorable and host a bake sale as part of the celebration. Have each family member come with a dozen of their favorite baked goods and sell them for donations to other families celebrating nearby. As a special gift, compile all of the recipes into a family bake sale book - a timeless treasure that will ensure your family's recipes are passed down for generations to come.

Neighborhood Block Party

When the whole neighborhood is planning to gather this year, propose turning the event into a mini bake sale. Encourage each family to create a custom cookie of their own. Everyone will love picking out their favorite ingredients and naming their one-of-a-kind treat; some might even stumble onto a lasting family recipe.

Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 18 in the U.S. Since 2009, the makers of Glad products have encouraged people to give back through its partnership with Cookies for Kids' Cancer. The partnership has helped inspire families to host more than 1,000 bake sales and raise more than $500,000 for pediatric cancer research.
