🍪 WHAT IF ONE REALLY BIG COOKIE COULD MAKE TWICE THE DIFFERENCE?
At this year’s Taste of New Hope, Sarah's Custom Cakery is once again creating our legendary, oversized decorated chocolate chip cookies for the live auction—and this year, we’re adding something new:
❤️ COOKIE MATCH PARTNERS!
We’re inviting local businesses, churches, organizations, and community friends to choose one of our signature cookies and match its winning bid dollar-for-dollar.
Choose a maximum match that works for you—$250, $500, $750, up to $1,000, or another amount.
So if your cookie sells for $500 and you’ve committed to a $500 match...
🍪 Winning bid: $500
❤️ Your match: $500
✨ $1,000 invested in hope!
And we're excited to share that McGowan Insurance has already stepped up as one of our first Cookie Match Partners with a $250 match for our canine-assisted therapy cookie! Thank you for helping us get this sweet new idea started!
Each of this year’s cookies celebrates a different expression of hope and healing:
🐴 Strength in the Saddle — Equine-Assisted Therapy
🐕 Hope with a Wagging Tail — Canine-Assisted Therapy
🎵 Songs that Heal — Music Therapy
🎨 Colors of Courage — Art & Creative Expression
Interested in becoming a 2026 Taste of New Hope Cookie Match Partner? Send us a message or email us to claim a cookie to sponsor and choose the maximum amount you’d like to match.
🍪 Double the bid. Multiply the hope. ❤️
