Alex's Lemonade Stand / Lemonade Days 2008

If you have nothing going on this weekend please stop by and support one of my favorite charities:

Lemonade Days 2008 is set for June 6th, 7th and 8th! Lemonade Days 2007 raised over $1 million!

This 3 day national event grew out of Alex's front yard lemonade stand and is held over the same June weekend as Alex's original frontyard stand.

During Lemonade Days, dedicated volunteers like you host thousands of Alex's Lemonade Stands across the country—all to help fight childhood cancer, one cup at a time. Each year, Lemonade Days raises over $1 million for childhood cancer research.

Lemonade Days 2007 was the biggest ever, with over 1500 locations from coast to coast. The totals are still coming in, but by all accounts, it was a huge success with a meaningful purpose

Join us in 2008, as we celebrate the 5th Annual Lemonade Days with over 10,000 volunteers at over 2,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands coast to coast. Be a part of this inspiring event and make a difference for children with cancer.
