Together with the support of the Ermelo community, the paper “baked” a difference in the lives of those who battle with cancer.
Cupcakes of Hope is a community-driven project that achieves its objectives through the love of baking cupcakes, community participation and amazing events.
Highvelder would like to thank Jam Drop Bakery and Deli, who sponsored vouchers for the customers, as well as every individual who supported this initiative, donated and helped with the baking.
