The She's the First Cupcake Classic is the largest fundraising effort for the She's the First UNC Asheville chapter. All the money raised from the event will be donated directly to She's the First, a registered 501c3 nonprofit that provides scholarships for girls in developing countries to be the first in their family to attend school. A free t-shirt is included with your registration fees. Immediately following the 5k, there will be a carnival featuring local vendors, homemade cupcakes, and crafts and activities. The carnival is free and open to the public.
