Got a sweet tooth? Well put that baby to work! Join vendors from the Birmingham area as they donate profits of certain “sweet” items to the “Sweet on a Cure” event, benefiting the University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Going on now through November 15, patrons can visit any of the participating vendors and 100% of the profit of the chosen item goes to UAB cancer research.
Among the participating businesses are Another Broken Egg Café; Ashley Mac’s; Bellini’s Ristorante & Bar; The Bright Star; Bongiorno Italian Restaurant; Café Dupont; Chappy’s Deli; DeVinci’s of Homewood; Dyron’s Lowcountry; Edgar’s Bakery; Hot and Hot Fish Club; Irondale Café; Joe’s Italian Pizza, Pasta & Caffé; Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q; Nabeel’s Café & Market; O’Henry’s Coffees; Rojo; Soho Sweets; Smith’s Oysters & Steaks; The Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill in Hoover; The Redmont Café; and Tracy’s.
“In an economic climate in which competition for federal and state funding is intense, scientists are increasingly faced with difficulty in maintaining world-class translational research,” says UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center Director Edward Partridge, M.D. “Community support for research is critical to the discovery of new treatments and cutting-edge therapies.”

That sounds like an awesome excuse for a treat!! If all the profits go to charities, then there are automatically no calories too, right??
Yes, yes. We should tell ourselves that we're donating the calories, as well as the profits 😀
