About National Cupcake Day™
![About Cupcake Day](../custom/cupcake14_wrpr/images/cupcake_about.jpg)
National Cupcake Day™ is a coordinated Canadian event to support local shelters, SPCAs, and Humane Societies. In 2015, animal lovers across Canada raised over $550,000 in support of their favourite societies.
Register for National Cupcake Day™ and host your own National Cupcake Day™ party where you bake cupcakes for your co-workers, friends and family. Your guests donate to the participating animal welfare charity of your choice, in exchange for a cupcake, and raise critically-needed funds for animals that are abused, abandoned, neglected or no longer wanted. Your Cupcake Day party can be held at your workplace, home, school or local community centre - anywhere where you think people will enjoy a treat!
National Cupcake Day™ is Monday, February 29, 2016, although you can hold your Cupcake Day party on whatever day works best for you in January or February.
The event is supported by the Ontario SPCA and BC SPCA on behalf of participating local shelters, SPCAs, and Humane Societies.
Fight cruelty with cupcakes and “bake” a difference for animals!
Each year thousands of abused, abandoned and neglected animals across Canada are rescued by SPCAs and Humane Societies. The funds you raise for National Cupcake Day™ will have a significant impact on the shelters, clinics and animal cruelty inspectors in your community, ensuring that their life-saving work continues.
*Please be sure to consult with your school or other public institution to ensure you are following any food restrictions or guidelines, including nut free or healthy school initiatives before planning your Cupcake Day party.
