I'm hosting a virtual bake sale in support of the Me Fine Foundation, an amazing organization that provides financial and emotional support to families with children experiencing a medical crisis at our North Carolina partner hospitals, Duke, UNC, and WakeMed. 

Me Fine provides an emergency safety net for families, covering expenses like groceries, gas, parking, and even utilities to ease the burden of daily worries so parents can focus on their child's healing, not bills. I've been involved with Me Fine since 2022 as part of the gala committee and board of directors, and deeply admire the work that they do. Me Fine answers the call - over more than 20 years, they've contributed millions of dollars to families in need. They listen to families and are responsive to exactly the help they need, without long application forms, waiting periods, and red tape. 

Help me raise $1,000 to support Me Fine families by the end of August by clicking the green "donate" button in the upper right corner of this page.

Based on your contribution level, each donor will receive a virtual recipe card with a tried and true recipe from my personal recipe box. At the end of the fundraiser, I'll choose one lucky donor who will win a delicious homemade treat from yours truly!  

  • $25 - Team Tart (Blueberry Cornmeal Crumble Tart recipe)
  • $35 - Cookie Crew (Tiny, Salty, Chocolaty Cookies recipe)
  • $50 - Sweetie Pies (Katie's Famous Key Lime Pie recipe)
  • $75 - Biscuit Bunch (Best Ever Butter Biscuits technique & recipe)
