The Great Cupcake Showdown
A Sweet Competition for a Great Cause
Last year, we hosted our first annual cupcake fundraiser, Cupcake Wars!
10 local bakers showed off their best cupcakes to over 130 taste-testers. Thanks to our amazing bakers, sponsors, and supporters, we ended up raising over $7000 for our programming. Talk about a sweet turnout!
It’s clear the Erie community is invested in mental health and wellness. That’s why we hope you’ll continue the outstanding support and join us again this year, for The Great Cupcake Showdown of 2026!

taste! vote! give back!
How it works:
Bakers bring their best cupcakes.
Attendees will sample and vote for each cupcake category — taste, creativity, and presentation.
Winners take home various prizes, and/or the title of Cupcake Champion!
No matter how you’re involved (as a baker, a taste tester, or a sponsor for the whole event), all contributions benefit
the mental health and wellness of our Erie community.
The Importance of Mental Health and Wellness
Why Mental Health and Wellness Matters (now more than ever!)
Our community has been hit hard by :
Rising Prices - Raises ANXIETY
Harsh Winter - Increases ISOLATION
Uncertain Times - Increases DEPRESSION
Anxiety - Depression - Isolation are all at unbelievably high levels. J:HT programs like Wellness Weekends, Support Groups, and Erie’s Journey to Wellness address these needs. Register below to support us this month.
