The First of Two Donations for "A Fund for Jennie"

If you follow any of the baking or food blogs you may have heard about "A Fund for Jennie."  Jennifer Perillo lost her husband of 16 years, Mikey, to a sudden heart attack on August 7. The food blogging community has come together to create a fund for Jennifer and her two girls ages 3 and 8.  The fund was started by Shauna Ahern and Maggy Keet.  #afundforjennie is the first project being organized by "Bloggers Without Borders", which was created by Maggy Keet and Erika Pineda-Ghanny.  The non-profit organization was formed to connect bloggers to one another, and to help them assist those in need. It is an online platform that will spread the word about charitable happenings in the blogging community.

We wanted to help in some small way and have donated two items to be auctioned on our blog.  The first item is a gift pack of our Cajeta, or Goat's Milk Caramel Sauce.  This includes all six flavors that we currently offer.  You will receive six, 9 oz. jars of Cajeta in the following flavors: Traditional, Cinnamon-Vanilla, Espresso, Sea Salt, Honey Lavender and Caliente (Habanero).  The value of this set is $48 and we will ship this item anywhere in the US.

The starting bid on this auction is $20.  All funds raised will go to Jennie.  This auction will end at 6 PM, MST on Sunday, September 4, 2011.  I will announce the winner on this blog and on Facebook (Fiore di Capra) and Twitter (@fioredicapra). I will ship the Cajeta within 3 days of payment. Please bid generously to show your support!  You may also send a donation to Jennie by clicking the badge below.  This will take you to the Paypal account that has been set up for her and her girls.   I will be posting a second donation tomorrow, which will be an assortment of goat cheese valued at over $50!
