Cakes 4 a 'Cause

Last weekend CMLC held their first annual, Cakes 4 a 'Cause! This was an all-you-can-eat pancake event with t-shirts, cake pops, a raffle, and tons of fun! CMLC held this event to benefit one our own teachers who is battling Stage 4 Metastatic Cancer. 

Sellwood's Teacher Traci was originally diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2007. After months of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, Traci was a given a clean bill of health. That was until December of 2011, where she found another lump, and her fight with cancer began all over again. After many tests and doctors, Traci was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Cancer, which had spread to her lungs and sternum. 

Throughout these last few months Traci has remained positive, inspiring the staff, parents, and children around her. She truly is an inspiration! 

CMLC would like to thank the numerous families, countless volunteers, and businesses who participated in the event. Due to your kind generousity, we were able to raise $1,557 for Traci! 

Cakes 4 a 'Cause is an event that CMLC holds near and dear, and we plan to continue the tradition of holding a fundraiser each summer! Each year CMLC will put on a Cakes 

 a 'Cause to benefit a different cause, hoping to help those in need as much as we can!
