Australians love their pets, but unfortunately there are still a lot of animals suffering. The RSPCA receives less than two per cent of our funding from the government, so August 21 they rely on the generosity of people like you. The money you raise during their Cupcake Day will rescue animals from cruelty and prepare them for their forever homes, by providing shelter, nourishment, veterinary treatment and rehabilitation.
RSPCA Cupcake Day gathers bakers from across the nation to make a stand for animal welfare. Absolutely 100 per cent of funds raised through your baking efforts will help rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome the 135,000 animals that come through RSPCA shelters every year.
When you decide to be a Cupcake Day host, you can organise your own Cupcake day however you like and wherever you like. It might be a cupcake party at home, a bake sale at your office, or you could bring cupcakes to work and ask for donations! Despite its name, you can choose to bake brownies, slices and other goodies. It’s completely up to you!
If you sell each cupcake for a humble $2:
12 cupcakes can provide an orphaned kitten with a bed, litter tray, meals and a toy.
25 cupcakes can cover one week of antibiotics for an animal recovering from surgery.
50 cupcakes can desex a cat or dog so they can be adopted.
120 cupcakes can subsidise emergency surgery for an animal.
175 cupcakes can subsidise the cost of prosecuting a cruelty offender in court.
