Fighting Cancer With Cookies For the Holidays

Wednesday, November 28, 2007; Page F02

A gift of cookies can help kids fight cancer.

Parents of children who suffer from a deadly childhood disease called neuroblastoma have formed the nonprofit foundation Band of Parents ( http://www.bandofparents.org) to help fight the disease. The plan: Bake, sell and ship 96,000 citrus shortbread, chocolate chip oatmeal and snickerdoodle cookies between Dec. 2 and Dec. 16. Nearly all of the proceeds from the holiday fundraiser will support children's cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

The freshly baked cookies are being made using recipes from the recently published cookbook "Recipe of the Week: Cookies," by Sally Sampson, who also will be baking some of them. Order until Dec. 15 at http://www.cookiesforkidscancer.org. The cost is $30 per dozen, plus shipping charges; an enclosed card will explain the significance of the cookie gift.
