The baking timer is set and counting down to National Cupcake Day

The sweetest day of the year is coming up on Monday and you can help animals in need

Cupcakes! Puppies! Kittens! Monday, Feb. 24 is National Cupcake Day™ – the sweetest day of the year and the most delicious way to help animals in need across Canada.

The Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre invites you to sprinkle the love for animals by indulging in a delicious treat. Stop by the animal centre, located at 550 Boundary Rd. in Cornwall, on Monday, Feb. 24 to get a cupcake or “pupcake” for your pooch in support of vulnerable animals in the community.

You can also host your own Cupcake Day party by registering at nationalcupcakeday.ca. Simply supply some delicious treats and then invite your co-workers, friends, family or neighbours to attend your party in exchange for a donation to the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre. Parties can be held anywhere, and on any day in February.

Can’t get everyone together? No problem! Send a virtual cupcake with a heartfelt thank you, or make a donation to the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Animal Centre by visiting nationalcupcakeday.ca
