Here’s what we’ve included for you:
Baking is great fun for all, and we’re really pleased that you
want to get involved and support Ovarian Cancer Action.
Every little bit that you raise will go towards funding
vital research to change the outlook for women with
ovarian cancer.
WhereAt home or work, a local venue; pub, school or a shop.
Getting permissionIf you’re holding your bake sale on private property then make sure you get permission from the owner.
WhenSet a date and make sure it doesn’t clash with meetings at work or any events.
What time of day?Afternoon tea time, lunchtime or a morning break at work. Think about when people are getting peckish, or when they want an afternoon drink.

baking every penny counts
why every penny countsOvarian Cancer Action receives no government support and therefore relies entirely on donations and grants. Every penny donated makes a big
difference to our work.
Here is an example of what your
donations could fund:
£7could buy the nutrients we need to grow the cancer cells needed for our research
£25could support a scientist to use a powerful microscope to compare what a cancer cell looks like before and after chemotherapy – helping us to explore how to make chemotherapy treatment more effective.
£50could buy a chemical that stops cancer cells growing – helping us to create new drugs to prevent women dying from ovarian cancer.
£100could support scientists to study what causes cancer cells to die – helping us identify potential treatments for the future.
£1,000could examine a patient’s DNA – enabling us to identify genetic mutations associated with ovarian cancer and understand why ovarian cancer happens.

handy tips
1 It may sound obvious but buy your ingredients in bulk especially if you’re planning on a big bake, or hosting a few smaller ones.
2 Get your friends or family involved they can help you to make a few more cupcakes or cookies.
3 Buy a few paper bags or boxes then your guests can take a couple of cakes away with them!
4 Offer your guests drinks as well as cakes, this can drum up some extra cash.
5 Don’t price your cakes, if your guests don’t know how much they are, quite often people pay a bit more. Otherwise another idea is to charge an ‘entrance fee’ charge per head and then your guests can eat as many cakes as they desire.
6 The power of social media. Let people know about your event through Facebook and Twitter, as well as word of mouth and posters. If it’s a big bake we could even post about it on our Facebook/Twitter/Flickr.

Do any of your friends have allergies? Bake some treats specifically for them, and label your baked goods on the day, so they know what they can and can’t eat.
Take photographs on the day, we’d love to hear and see how your bake event went, and again we can even shout about it on Facebook/Twitter.

baking presentation and finishing touches
How to make your cakes look as delicious as they taste!You can buy a decorating kit quite cheaply to get the swirls on your cupcake just right, otherwise you can create a smooth finish with a pallet knife.
Try adding some food colouring to your icing, or buy some sprinkles, sweets or chop up some fruit to decorate the top.
Buy some eye catching cupcake cases, perhaps theme your event with one colour.
We’ve supplied you with some bunting to decorate the room, and cake labels, as well as this you could use some table clothes for your surfaces.
If you or your friends have cake stands, then they always look lovely. However you can buy large silver platters quite cheaply or you could line wicker baskets with napkins or doilies.
If you don’t have enough crockery and cutlery, then you could pick up some paper plates, and plastic spoons and forks that you can recycle after use.

One of our fundraisers held a Strawberry Tea Party in memory of her sister. This is a wonderful
example of how to set out some beautiful cakes!

fundraising in memory“I cannot stress how moving my family and I found our visit to the Research Centre where we saw my Mother’s name and our dedication to her.”Gwyneth Strong, Patron

Fundraising in MemoryMany events are held in memory of a friend or a family member. If you are fundraising in memory of a loved one then we would like to make you aware of our Ovarian Cancer Action Tribute Wall.
The Tribute Wall sits at the heart of the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre which is based at the Hammersmith Hospital. It is an inspiration to our scientists.
Once a fund holder has raised £1000 in memory of a loved one, we invite them to have their loved one’s name inscribed on the Tribute Wall, along with a personal message.
If you are fundraising in memory and are interested in having a name displayed on the Tribute Wall, please do contact us and we will keep a record of everything that is raised in their name, whether it is donated by you, or by others.
Tribute FundsA good way to keep track of the funds you have raised is by setting up a Tribute Fund. This is an online space that can be visited by friends and family who can then continue to leave messages and make donations. It is a lasting way to celebrate the courage and strength of women affected by ovarian cancer.
If you would like to set up a Tribute Fund, please visit the following page: http://ovariancanceraction. tributefunds.com/ Alternatively, to discuss this further please contact Amelia on 020 7380 1733 or email [email protected]

Ovarian Cancer Action strives to stop
women dying from ovarian cancer.
We fund world-class scientific
research leading to breakthrough
treatments.
Ovarian Cancer Action campaigns
to ensure women and healthcare
providers know the risk factors,
symptoms and treatment options to
enable informed and rapid action.
Please help us to continue to provide
this life-changing research and support.
Today, a woman diagnosed with
ovarian cancer has only a 43% chance
of being alive in five years time.
You can help us improve those odds.
Thank you for your support.
