Youth Making a Difference: The Story of Two Brudders Cakery and Their Summer of Impact

When most kids think of summer vacation, they imagine time spent swimming, playing video games, or relaxing. But two young boys in Green Bay had a different idea. With a passion for baking and an even bigger passion for giving back, they decided to turn their summer break into an opportunity to make a difference in their community. 
Under the name Two Brudders Cakery, these boys set up a stand, selling cupcakes with a mission to support local nonprofits. As each batch of cupcakes sold, they grew more excited about their goal of helping others. But, like many of us, they wondered: "Did we make enough of an impact?"
