VIrtual Cupcakes for Cancer Re$earch

There are a lot of fun sites on the Internet, and many that can raise awareness and cash for good causes. For example, Electrolux (yep, the vacuum cleaner and appliance people) has a special site where you can build a cupcake and send it to a friend.

You choose the flavor, decorate it, and add a personal message. Then email it to anyone who deserves a little treat, or save it to your desktop to brighten your day.

When you send a virtual cupcake to a friend or loved one this February, Electrolux will donate a $1 to The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (with a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $30,000) as part of its $500,000 commitment to help fight ovarian cancer.

Calorie-free, too! I made this one just for you!
