Sugar Cupcakery, a cupcake bakery offering vegan and gluten-free varieties that competed on the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars television series, is teaming up with a program that funds research and education on Parkinson’s Disease.

From now until September 12th, two organic cupcakes from the bakery will compete with each other in sales and 25% of sales from the winning cupcake will go towards The Sunflower Foundation, a collaboration between UC Health/ University Hospital Foundation, UC Neuroscience Institute and the Davis Phinney Foundation that has raised over 1.4 million dollars for Parkinson’s Disease.
