Cancer touches so many lives, and in October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Consilium turned its focus to making an impact. With ovens preheated and t-shirts printed, the Consilium Cares Pink Bake Sale and pink T-shirt fundraiser set the stage for an incredible show of support for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
The bake sale turned into a pink-powered feast, with over 45 bakers serving up creations that ranged from sweet rolls to pink strawberry cake to freshly baked bread. The baked goods were such a hit that tables emptied quickly, with only a few cupcakes left by the end of the day. Alongside the baked goods, 96 team members sported custom pink t-shirts featuring the words “We care” in a heart-shaped design—a simple yet powerful reflection of what the day was all about.
Thanks to this collective effort, Consilium crushed its original fundraising goal of $2,000, ultimately donating $2,500 to BCRF. The impact didn’t stop there: the donation landed on a quadruple-match day, multiplying its value to $10,000. Every bite of cake and every t-shirt sold helped propel breast cancer research forward, creating a ripple effect of hope and progress.
In Their Words: Reflections on the Event
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation emphasized the importance of initiatives like these:
“Behind every person diagnosed with breast cancer there are: family and friends, physicians and scientists. Let’s give a voice to this community, through research…Because research is the reason they have a story to tell.”
Consilium’s team members were equally enthusiastic about the event. Shadley Hawkins shared her excitement:
“The bake sale was a smash! All of the baked items were delicious! It’s so awesome of all the bakers and everyone who came and supported the event to help raise money for such a great cause.”
A Sweet Success and a Bigger Purpose
The Consilium Cares Pink Bake Sale proved that even small actions—like baking bread or sporting a t-shirt—can create lasting change when combined with a clear purpose. Consilium helped push the needle forward toward a future without breast cancer by making an impact of $10,000 at BCRF, the world’s largest private funder of breast cancer research.
