The idea behind www.cupcakesforlife.com is to bring about awareness of this issue in a thoughtful and unique way. The Cwilkas baked and decorated 800 cupcakes with unique Pro-life slogans. The Pro-Life club members at Scranton Prep distributed the cupcakes to fellow students during lunch.

The Students for Life at the University of Scranton plan to donate the proceeds from their cupcake event to Sr. Anna & her pregnancy center at St. Joseph’s Center.
