Cupcakes for Courage


Chicago, IL

Supporting a good cause while eating cupcakes? Now that’s an idea we can get behind!

Cupcakes for Courage taste as sweet as their story. Sisters Kathryn and Laura Pekarik started their food truck journey after Kathryn was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin T-cell Lymphoma in May of 2010. It was a benefit supporting Kathryn where family and friends first noticed Laura’s delicious cupcakes. It didn’t take long for orders to start pouring in by the dozen and soon Cupcakes for Courage emerged.
