A California restaurant has raised a record-breaking $75,000 for children battling cancer by selling more than 60,000 cookies during a month-long fundraising campaign. Corky’s Kitchen & Bakery collected the money through its annual Cookies for Cancer initiative, which supports patients receiving care at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in California. The restaurant raised nearly $25,000 more than it did in 2025, marking an increase of more than 48% across its 13 outlets. The hospital announced the achievement on October 26, 2026, following the presentation of a cheque to its administration and staff on October 20. The latest contribution will help revamp the hospital’s Beads of Courage programme, which recognises and celebrates the experiences of children undergoing cancer treatment.
