Cookies for Kids' Cancer Richmond WWBT-12

Low-tech Flip video of television.

When the son of Cookies for Kids' Cancer founder Gretchen Holt Witt experienced a recent relapse, she called on friends across the nation to raise funds to fight pediatric cancer. Her former Richmond co-workers joined forces and, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, and several local business including CRT/tanaka, the Mixing Bowl, the Carytown Merchants Association, Jacqueline's Gourmet Cookies and WINN Transportation, they are planning Richmond's biggest bake sale.
