Sophie’s gets sweet on CLASS

July 31, 2014   ·   0 Comments

Sophie’s Sweets in Alliston makes giving to charity a whole lot sweeter.

From July 14th to August 8th every special cupcake purchased will benefit CLASS (Community Living Association of South Simcoe). CLASS helps individuals with developmental delays and their families and runs two group homes in Alliston and one in Bradford.

Teresa and Carlos Trivino, owners of Sophie’s Sweets (located at 41 Victoria Street E. in Alliston, across from Giant Tiger), came up with the idea for this fundraiser after meeting with Nancy DeLuca, Class’ fundraising coordinator, as a customer and fellow Alliston Chamber of Commerce member.

“We like to support the community,” Mrs. Trivino told the Times. “And the community has done so much for us. I’d also like to mention that Alliston Creamery has donated all of the butter for this campaign.”

CLASS (and all Sophie’s Sweets) cupcakes cost $2.60, except on Tuesday, when all bakery cupcakes are $2.

The full proceeds from each cupcake sold will be donated to CLASS at the conclusion of the fundraiser.

Class, in turn, will use the monies to support existing programs and services – they are much in need of a private fundraising initiatives such as this.

Sophie’s Sweets is open Tuesday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. They create specialty cakes, wedding cakes, cupcakes, custom cookies, sweets, pastries, cookiegrams, gourmet cookies and serve cappuccino, espresso, lattes, teas and more.
