OUR PLEDGE
$250,000
Breast cancer is on the rise in young women. As a brand, we're doubling down on research that can't wait.
CAKES has donated over $1.5M to women's health causes. This year, we're committing a minimum of $250,000 to BCRF to continue funding the She's Not Too Young Research Grant—breakthrough research for women diagnosed with breast cancer young.
