- Learn about the challenges and triumphs of creating inclusive employment

- Be inspired by the Cupcake Crew’s commitment to mentoring the next generation

🧁 This Friday on Philanthropy in Phocus with Tommy DiMisa #InTheAttic 🧁

Join us for a heartwarming and empowering conversation with Patty Castrogiovanni, founder of Special Sweets Bakery, operating under the nonprofit A Special Place For Me. Together with the Cupcake Crew—a team of talented individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities—Patty is proving that purpose, creativity, and community rise beautifully… just like their cupcakes. 💜

This week, we explore “Baking with Purpose: How Sweet Inclusion Can Be.” Learn how this small business blossomed from a dream to keep a close-knit group of classmates together after aging out of the school system—and how it now inspires others through mentorship and meaningful employment.

🕙 Tune in Friday, June 20th at 10 AM EST to hear how this one-of-a-kind bakery is creating opportunity, joy, and delicious impact—one cupcake at a time.
