💚🤍 Benny’s Bakery went to MICHIGAN STATE today! 💚🤍
What an incredible day for Benny and Benny’s Bakery! 🍪
A HUGE thank you to Dr. Sarah (or “Coach Sarah,” as Benny lovingly calls her!) for inviting Benny to speak with a class of future special education teachers preparing to graduate from MSU!
The course focuses on transition and the importance of collaboration between families, communities, and schools to support students as they prepare for life beyond K–12 education. What an incredible opportunity for Benny to share his story and show these future educators what is possible!
The students were AMAZING! So kind, thoughtful, engaged, and genuinely interested in Benny and his business. And, of course, we brought cookies for everyone to enjoy! 🍪❤️
When we started Benny’s Bakery, we never could have imagined all the doors it would open or the people it would bring into our lives. What began as a love for baking has grown into something so much bigger.
Benny’s Bakery has never been just about cookies. It’s about purpose, belonging, confidence, independence, and connection. It’s about showing others that everyone has gifts to share and that sometimes the most meaningful opportunities come when we see what someone CAN do rather than what they can’t.
Benny has a way of making an impact on the people who know him, and now, through his bakery, he continues to touch the lives of people he is just meeting. And the beautiful thing is that these experiences are changing Benny’s life, too. ❤️
Today, our circle grew a little bigger, and knowing that these future educators will carry a little piece of Benny’s story into their own classrooms someday means more than words can express.
We hope this is just the beginning of many opportunities to connect with future educators, share Benny’s story, and remind others of the incredible possibilities that exist when we believe in people and give them opportunities to shine.
One cookie. One connection. One opportunity at a time. 🍪
Thank you, Coach Sarah (Sports Are For Everyone SAFE Challenge), for welcoming Benny with such open arms. Today was a day we won’t soon forget! 💚🤍
