No Cookie Left Behind Benefit Bakesale This Sunday @Scoops
At No Cookie Left Behind's Haiti fundraiser bakesale (Lindsay William-Ross/LAist)
There's no room for bluffin' when it comes to these muffins: No Cookie Left Behind [Twitter] is an awesome charity bakesale which is a part of Share Our Strength’s Great American Bake Sale, and you can pick up some locally and home made treats on Sunday and contribute to a more-than-worthy cause.At the start of this year this same group was behind the successful Cookies Without Borders bakesale, which raised over $5300 to benefit the work of Doctors Without Borders and their post-earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
This Sunday there will be tables laden with goodies out in front of Scoops [map], and they promise they've got some tricks up their sleeve to make this community event even more enjoyable. For example, a raffle that includes prizes worth salivating over (Glee set tour, concert tickets, restaurant gift certificates and much more), and the Frysmith truck parked for your eat-ertainment.
