Imagine a childhood where you feel unseen, neglected, or even traumatized, where your milestones and achievements go unnoticed. For many young people experiencing homelessness, abuse, trafficking, or living in foster care, this is their painful reality.

Cake4Kids is changing this reality by providing underserved youth with a positive, affirming childhood experience: a personalized cake to celebrate birthdays. This simple act of celebration can be life-changing and has the power to uplift self-esteem and inspire hope, empowering each youth to envision a brighter future.

Our annual silent auction raises thousands of dollars to support our mission to deliver a moment of support and joy for 20,000 vulnerable youth. This year, we need your help in securing fabulous items to contribute to this life-changing work. Join us in this important work by donating an item or experience—such as a wine country getaway for two—to be featured at our annual Cake4Kids Benefit.

This year’s event details:

●      National Online Silent Auction: October 18-26, 2025

●      Dinner & Live Auction: October 23, 2025 at the Palo Alto Events Center

Your generous donation will help us continue reaching thousands of underserved children and providing them with the moments of celebration they deserve.

The Northern Virginia Chapter is looking for unique activities, food and beverage experiences, family adventures, shopping, travel, wellness, and sporting event tickets.  The fundraising that we do covers chapter operating costs, classes for our volunteer bakers to improve their decorating skills, and helping us pay it forward once cake at a time.  

As a thank you, your commitment will be highlighted to our supporters across multiple platforms, including:

●      Your logo on the Cake4Kids Event Website

●      Your business name listed in our Event Program

●      Your logo on Cake4Kids social media

With over 600 executives, philanthropists, and community leaders participating in the auction, this is a prime opportunity to showcase your business to an engaged and generous audience
