Those who love cupcakes can eat them for a good cause at the Norwin Lions Cubcake Wars at the Norwin High School cafeteria, 251 McMahon Drive, North Huntingdon, from 1 to 4 p.m. March 29.

Money from the eighth annual fundraiser will be used for the Norwin Lions and its Kitty Sack Project, which provides food for 40 to-50 Norwin students over the weekends during the school year. It is done to help fill the food gap with child friendly, healthy food when the children go home for the weekend. The Lions partnered with a local grocery store to have fresh fruit, cereal, crackers, and meals children can prepare themselves without using the stove, said John Russo, Norwin Lions president.

The Lions deliver the Kitty Sacks on Friday mornings to three Norwin elementary schools — Stewartsville, Sunset Valley and Hahntown — and Hillcrest Intermediate School, Russo said.

It costs close to $400 to provide food for one child for a school year, equal to about $20,000 for the entire program, Russo said.

Numerous bakers will make and sell cubcakes for $2. The word cubcake is a play on words for Lion Cubs. The bakers will judged for making the best tasting cubcake, best decorations, most money raised, and people’s choice for best in show.
