Why not contact the promotors of the giant biscuit and ask them to donate it to the shelter?

That's exactly whatI was thinking, although it's probably a little late now (how long does biscuit keep?). When a company in NZ made the worlds biggest biscuit (although it would be called a cookie in the US) they sold portions of it and the proceeds went to charity. This gives them a double PR boost, both the unique record and the do-good fuzzy feeling.
