Journey: Healing Together - Cupcake Wars!

On May 3, 2025 Journey:Healing Together (J:HT), a nonprofit centering on mental health and wellness for Erie's diverse communities hosted Erie's first (of many!) Cupcake Wars! competition. 11 bakers brought their best bakes forward for Erie to taste, vote, and crown (or whisk as the case may be) a baker in 7 different fun categories. Special thanks to our bakers, the 130 community members, and 16 sponsors for helping raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness on this Mental Health Awareness Month kick-off event. Pride Fuel - National Fuel's LGBTQ+ affinity group was the Golden Whisk Sponsor. Thanks to the Erie Community Foundation, and 14 other private and company sponsors for an amazing event. The $7,500 raised at this event will help J:HT's programs like monthly Wellness Weekends, support and recovery groups, and Erie's Journey to Wellness. Mark your calendars for the first Saturday in May, 2026 because you won't want to miss this again!
