Log Homes Council Sells Cookbooks for Cancer Cure

 

All the proceeds from the Log Homes Council's "Cookin' for a Cure" help provide aid to families in need. To order, click here.

The NAHB Log Homes Council has created and is selling a cookbook, “Cookin’ for a Cure: A Collection of Favorite Recipes From the Members of the Log Homes Council,” in which 100% of the proceeds will help provide financial aid to cancer patients and their families.

More than 60 council members and most of their product suppliers have provided tasty recipes, ranging from Texas Caviar to Cherry Pretzel Torte, and donated funds to produce the 200-page cookbook. All proceeds for the cookbook will go to the National Cancer Awareness Foundation, a nonprofit, totally volunteer organization that gives 100% of all the money it raises to families in need.

'Cookin' for a Cure' sells for $14.50, plus $4.05 shipping.

“It is with great pleasure and excitement that we were able to put this cookbook together and make a difference in the lives of many across the country,” said Dana Delano, of Ward Cedar Log Homes, of Houlton, Maine. Crystal Horne, of Honest Abe Log Homes, based in Moss, Tenn., produced the cookbook.

“We are fortunate that all the individuals involved in the foundation are volunteers,” said Jeremy Bertrand, executive director of NAHB’s Building Systems Councils. “Items such as postage, phone, supplies, printing, etc. are all supported by private funds and corporate supporters. When individuals and companies make a donation, they can be assured that 100% of the money will be used for the cause.”
