Steve Jobs Honored With Vegan Cupcakes That Fund Cancer Research
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 10th, 2011 in Charitable Causes And Campaigns, Food & Drink, Restaurants, Tech.
A vegan bake shop in New Jersey is dedicating the passing of one of the greatest tech inventors by donating a pastry in his name to an animal-friendly research charity.
Sweet Avenue of Rutherford is giving a portion of proceeds from its Apple Pie Cupcake to the Gateway Center For Cancer Research to honor Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
Unlike many organizations that aim to cure or manage diseases, Gateway will only help fund non-animal research.
Sweet Avenue owners Jake and Danielle Vance told CBS New York, “The organization is a certified human charity. This means that they do not directly fund or contribute to any organizations that perform animal research.”
“Steve Jobs started Apple the same way we started Sweet Avenue – from home, with little money and even less experience,” the Vances said of the entrepreneur who battled pancreatic cancer. “We don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Sweet Avenue might not be the same without the company and devices that Steve Jobs built.”
Over the past two decades, the Gateway Center has funded 71 studies and raised $20 million for cancer patients.
