Cupcakes of Hope is a national organisation committed to families who do not have enough money to pay for cancer treatment. Volunteers refer to themselves as Cupcake Angels, worked in shifts at the mall. This ensured that there were volunteers there all day to help raise money for the organisation. Cupcakes were donated by volunteers, in accordance with strict guidelines set out by Cupcakes of Hope, and sold for R10 to mall-goers.
