   NOLA Cupcakes has created a special charity line of cupcakes completely dedicated to partnerships with charitable institutions. 100% of proceeds from the NOLA Gives Back cupcake line directly fund the partnering organization’s cause.
NOLA Cupcakes only launches one campaign at a time to ensure that each of our partners is able to maximize on our customers’ generosity. Each campaign cupcake is lovingly customized to illustrate the cause being supported, and remains on sale until the target donation is achieved. Once met, NOLA Gives Back dedicates itself to another cause. |

From the Heart to the Heart
NOLA Cupcakes is currently collaborating with the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation to help raise funding for the establishment of an international medical center in Aswan offering state-of-the-art cardiovascular care to underprivileged Egyptians.
By choosing our dedicated heart cupcakes from now until World Heart Day on September 29th 2011, you will contribute to saving countless lives from your heart to theirs.
About the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation
Founded and led by the internationally renowned heart transplant surgeon Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub, The Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation is an Egyptian NGO aiming to establish—along the banks of the river Nile in Aswan—a medical centre of excellence and international standing dedicated to cardiovascular surgery, treatment and research. The Aswan Heart Centre provides hope, improves life chances, and serves the children, young people and adults of Egypt and the region.
Because we only launch one full campaign at a time, the NOLA Gives Back line also sponsors charitable events. This allows us to help as many foundations as we can without detracting from any individual campaign. NOLA Cupcakes has previously sponsored events held by a variety of charitable organizations, including:
- Breast Cancer Awareness Egypt
- Enigma Magazine’s 10th Anniversary for Areesh Children’s Hospital
- The Gezira Youth Club for UN AIDS
- Magdy Yacoub for Aswan Hospital
- The Refugee School for Children
- Arab African Bank for We Owe it to Egypt
- Libyan Aid
In another attempt to extend our support to our community, NOLA has launched its NOLA Gives Orphanages drive. Cupcakes are freshly baked in the morning and left overs are delivered to nearby orphanages by our NOLA team after closing time. At present we deliver the cupcakes to the children of the Dar Aman orphanage in Mohandiseen.
NOLA is eager to deliver to more orphanages in downtown Cairo, so please help us by telling us of an orphanage you are associated with. If the orphanage is not within our delivery district but is able to pick cupcakes up from our Zamalek store, please let us know as we would love to help bring icing covered smiles to children all across Cairo!
Baby Cupcake
From November,2010 until March,2011, NOLA Cupcakes sponsored Rakhaya, who suffered from a rare case of cleft palate and at only the age of 6 months required extensive surgery. As part of the fundraising drive to raise EGP 500,000 for her operation, NOLA Cupcakes and Operation Smile came together to raise 10% of the total cost through our special smiley face cupcake campaign.
Through your generosity, we were able to meet our target and helped put a brand new smile on beautiful Baby Cupcake’s face!
Operation Smile
Operation Smile Egypt repairs childhood facial deformities while building public and private partnerships that advocate for sustainable healthcare systems for children and families. Together, we create smiles, change lives, and heal humanity.
