Whip up something sweet and support animals with Cupcake Day for the Ontario SPCA

Get ready to whisk up some kindness – Cupcake Day for the Ontario SPCA is back! This sweet annual tradition turns flour and frosting into vital support for animals, helping provide shelter, medical care, and brighter futures.

Cupcake Day officially takes place on Monday, Feb. 23, but supporters are encouraged to start the fun early. Participants can host a cupcake party, bake sale, or treat-themed gathering any time in January or February to help “raise dough” for animals at the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Lennox and Addington Animal Centre. A registered charity that is 100 per cent donor funded, the Ontario SPCA relies on the generosity of donors to provide urgent care, shelter, and second chances to animals.

“Every year, Cupcake Day gives animal lovers a delicious way to make a difference,” says Sara Vanderveer, Community Outreach Coordinator, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Lennox and Addington Animal Centre. “It’s heart-warming to watch the community rise to the occasion. We love seeing families, workplaces, and classrooms join in the fun.”

Register at cupcakeday.ca to set up a personal fundraising page, get baking inspiration, and start planning your sweetest celebration yet. From cozy kitchen gatherings to office treat tables and community bake sales, Cupcake Day can be as simple or as creative as you’d like.
