Bird family: Bake sale raises $5000 for research

Thanksgiving and Pumpkin Pie just go together, right? So Eli’s family, in the middle of Canada, decided to hold a Thanksgiving Fundraiser for Pitt Hopkins Research to bake and sell homemade pumpkin pies, buttertarts and cinnamon buns. The response was overwhelming, with orders coming in, one after the other. Eli’s grandparents kept the neighbourhood smelling sweet as their two ovens hummed for 3 days straight. When it was all said and done, $5000 was raised for the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation.
