Two Sammamish youths, Amol Garg, 13, and Chirag Vedullapalli, 12, have organized an event to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation called the Canvas & Cupcake Fundraiser. The two are founders of the group 3C (Creative Children for Charity), an organization that has a mission of empowering kids to contribute time and talent to support other kids in need.

The Cupcake & Canvas event will focus on painting a cupcake on a canvas followed by decorating real cupcakes kids can munch on. Approximately 60 kids are expected to participate in the event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Feb. 21 at the Beaver Lake Lodge in Sammamish.

Garg and Vedullapalli have a goal of raising $1,000 for Make-A-Wish. Cost to enter the fundraiser is $20 and covers the supplies, cupcakes and donation to Make-A-Wish Foundation.

All artwork will be published or put on sale at Creative Children for Charity Marketplace on the 3C website for fundraising purposes.

Parents can register children on the 3C website.
