Who doesn't like a good ol' bake sale?

Now for something completely different...
Buy your chance now to win unique creations by Houston's top pastry chefs! Phoenicia, Paulie's, Uchi, Underbelly and other illustrious Houston restaurants have each devised a special treat just for this event - and this is your only chance to taste them!

The concept is simple - All items for sale are GREY in color (with some being thematically tied to mental illness/depression) and with the purpose to raise awareness of mental health issues! Everyone involved is trying to lift the stigma of those that suffer from depression.

You don't need to be present to win. Winners who do not attend the event will be notified once by phone and must pick up their prize by 7PM on Monday September 29, 2014 at the Montrose Center.
In addition to the raffled treats, enjoy complimentary lite bites at the event and available-to-purchase baked goods from Houston's top bakers.

100% OF THE PROCEEDS will go to the Montrose Center - empowering Houston's LGBT community to live healthier, more fulfilling lives since 1978 with a range of professional mental health services, plus HIV, anti-violence, youth and senior programs.

Great job by jodycakes Custom Cakes & Cupcakes for creating this event.
