Starting March 2009, Betty Crocker will use her magic Red Spoon to stir up wishes for the Foundation. Through part of its annual $250,000 donation, Betty Crocker® is granting 12 Wishes in 12 Weeks to Make-A-Wish® children. The campaign will give each Make-A-Wish chapter the chance to receive funding for a wish through consumer voting and participation. Go to www.StirringUpWishes.com to help make a child’s wish come true by placing a vote for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma. The more votes our chapter receives, the greater the opportunity for us to have a wish granted by Betty Crocker!

In addition to voting at www.StirringUpWishes.com, find wish stories along with wish kids’ favorite cupcake recipes. Each week, a new wish story and Betty Crocker cupcake will be featured, so visit often for baking ideas, inspiration and to vote for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma. You can also send a message to friends about the Stirring Up Wishes program and sign up for a weekly email reminding you to vote online.
