Our neighborhood has a special little lady who does a huge lemonade stand every year to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) during Alex’s Lemonade Days, an annual 3-day fundraiser where supporters from coast to coast hold lemonade stands to raise funds for childhood cancer research.
Little Giana raises money in honor of her cousin with leukemia.
Lemonade Days is held each year during the second weekend of June – the time of year when Alex always held her lemonade stand – to honor Alex and all of our childhood cancer heroes. Since Alex’s first front yard lemonade stand, there have been more than 20,000 ALSF lemonade stands held across the country and world. Alex’s Lemonade Stands make a meaningful difference at any time of the year, however Lemonade Days is a time when supporters join forces and hold stands simultaneously to be a part of our largest annual fundraiser. In the spirit of Alex’s ambitious goal to raise $1 million, which she reached before she passed away in 2004, Lemonade Days weekend consistently raises $1 million annually.
Visit LemonadeDays.org and register by June 5, 2015 to request a free fundraising kit and to access downloadable materials for your lemonade stand. The kits include needed materials; posters, banners, thank you notes, fundraising tips, and more.
