1. Background

Driven by its mission of sharing heart-warming Aloha, Diamond Bakery (DB) is collaborating with Aloha United Way (AUW) to develop a Campaign – “MAKE & BAKE”. The program incorporates community fundraising into a creative and fun consumer contest as well as providing an easy way for individuals to give to a charitable cause. As a result, Diamond Bakery will donate profits from 3-months of cracker sales to AUW to help those who are less fortunate. This proposed partnership also comes at a time when charitable giving is down and non-profits are reporting budget shortfalls and service limitations due to a downturn in the economy.

2. Contest Description

Starting May 15, 2010, the public will be asked to support AUW by entering Diamond Bakery’s Make & Bake Family Contest. Structure-building (like a house or a car) and recipe development are the central focus.
In order to participate in the contest, families are required to submit both an original Pupu or Dessert recipe and a structure-building primarily composed of Diamond Bakery crackers. The competition is open to all households on Oahu. Entries may be submitted by family members of up to 6 people.

Recipe

Each recipe entry should contain a maximum of 8 ingredients of which the primary ingredients in each recipe must be Diamond Bakery products. (E.G. prepared ingredients such as peppermint Chocolate or pie filling are considered as one ingredient) Each recipe should list the ingredients with exact measurements or weights, and in the order used.  In addition, recipes should also include complete preparation directions including baking time and temperature and type of bakeware used (including exact dimensions or size).  All recipes must utilize a baking or cooking method of preparation and have a maximum prep time of 30 minutes.

Structure

For each structure-building entry, size must be at least 12 inches high, 12 inches long and 12 inches wide. Body of structure must be created mainly with Diamond Bakery crackers, and entry must be placed on plywood or something sturdy.
