A Whitsundays non-for-profit is distributing tasty treats next week as part of its annual, full-day of child safety education and awareness.
On Day For Daniel on Friday, October 28, Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre will raise funds for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation through a “Cupcake Drive”, selling scrumptious treats.
The Cupcake Drive is just one of the activities on the centre’s itinerary for the day, including child protection lessons and educational activities run throughout Friday at the centre's Scallywags Childcare premises next door.
The annual event is Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day and honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe, a thirteen-year-old boy who was tragically abducted and murdered on the way to his local shopping centre where he planned to buy Christmas presents for his family.
The red t-shirt he wore on the day he went missing has become a symbol of child safety awareness and every year, thousands of people dress in red to commemorate his life and better our world.
Although purchasing closed yesterday for the cupcakes, Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre executive officer Bec Woods said the message of Day For Daniel was just as important as the sweet treats.
“Each year we do something for Day For Daniel to promote child protection principles and educational resources; it’s a very worthy and important cause,” Ms Woods said.
“Getting the word out through school letters and social media has been an integral part of this fundraising process.”
The cakes will be baked fresh by Proserpine business, Buttercup Lane, and collected at two sites: The Neighbourhood Centre and the business itself. They hope to raise $500 dollars for the foundation this year.
