Dear potential Donor,
My
name is Jessica Sutliff. I am the head baker at Cocobeni Confections in
Northborough Ma. We are a small cupcake shop that specializes in cupcakes,
cakes and other specialty desserts. We
are going on our 3rd year in business in October.
Cocobeni Confections opened in October 2011. Mary Beth
Benison is the owner/founder of the business. It took a long time for Mary Beth
to get where she is right now. For 20
years she worked in Software communications. In 1999 Mary Beth was diagnosed
with a rare brain tumor. It took a few years for her to get back into the swing
of things, she had to relearn how to eat and speak with extensive therapy. Once
she was recovered she started to really evaluate her life and what was truly
important to her. This led Mary Beth to Pastry school where she learned how to
bake and create different baked goods and become a certified Pasty Chef!
Sadly following her brain tumor Mary Beth encountered yet
another rare type of cancer, this time it was breast cancer. During this time
Mary Beth was laid off from her communications job, leading her to follow her
dreams. She has since then opened Cocobeni Confections. With the help of family
friends and co-workers Cocobeni has taken flight and slowly but surely becoming
the buzz in town.
With business booming and orders coming in Mary Beth
seemed to be getting very tired and having difficulties getting through a full
work day. With numerous trips to the doctors she could not find answers as to
what was going on. In June Mary Beth yet again was diagnosed with another form
of cancer. This time it is mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure. Back in
August Mary Beth had surgery to remove the tumor. It is going to be a long road for recovery
for Mary Beth. With the unexpected medical expenses and extensive visits to the
doctors we are reaching out in hopes to support our dear boss and her recovery.
We are hosting a
car show in hopes to raise money to help cover any expenses she has incurred
due to this unexpected illness. We are looking for sponsors and donors to help
make this car show benefit a success. We are looking for cash donations to
cover the cost of hosting the show in addition to raffle prizes, door prizes,
and other varies expenditures. All donors will be recognized at the show and on
Facebook!
If you decided to donate we will be handing out bags of
promotional materials supplied to us by the donors! We hope you consider
helping out a great cause as well as supporting us and the local surrounding
businesses participating in the show!
Thank you for your time and support!
