Cake4Kids, Coachella Velly Chapter, Is Delivering Smiles to Children… One Birthday Cake At A Time

The Coachella Valley Chapter of nonprofit Cake4Kids, recently hosted its sold out Drag Bingo event with Ethylina Canne at The Roost Lounge, to rave reviews with a crowd of over 165 guests.  Sponsored by GED Magazine, the event raised over $3,000, with all attendees truly enjoying a fun time.  “Three cakes were auctioned off during the event, with the top one selling for $900,” said Ray Biller, Cake4Kids Ambassador for the Coachella Valley.  

Has the thought of a child without a birthday cake ever crossed your mind?

Cake4Kids says unfortunately, this happens all the time, but the organization’s Coachella Valley Chapter is working hard to change all of that!  An army of volunteers is putting a smile on kids’ faces by baking and delivering free, custom homemade birthday cakes to at-risk and underserved children ages 1 to 24 in our Valley.  Cake4Kids partners with agencies and organizations throughout the country who serve at-risk and underserved youth.

“It is inconceivable to me that a child might not get this recognition on their birthday,” said Biller.  “But many children in our community don’t.  It’s like a wake-up call, and it is at the heart of what we do. We make these kids smile and build their self-esteem. It impacts their families too. They would love to give more to their loved ones, but are stretched so thin financially.”
