The Lemonade Stand

National Lemonade Days is Friday, June 7th - Sunday, June 9th.  National Lemonade Days is a coast to coast 'lemonade stand' to benefit  Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.   The ALSF is non-profit organization that is "fighting childhood cancer, one cup at time."  In 2000, Alex Scott (1996-2004) was four years old and a cancer patient. She set up a neighborhood lemonade stand to help fund finding a cure for childhood cancers.  She raised $2000 that day and the foundation continues to raise money one cup at time.

Who can pass up cute kids selling lemonade? This would be a great family or neighborhood project.  Get a card table. Make a poster.  Use social media to let friends and family know about your lemonade stand.  Click on the links above to learn more about foundation.  You and your child can help make a difference in the battle of childhood cancer.
