The Gregory Family and Others
June 1-3, 2018
​Simpsonville, SC

Five families impacted by childhood cancer knew they could use their experiences to help others. That’s how 5 Fighters Lemonade Stand first started, with the hope that other families wouldn’t have to go through what they did. No promo is too outlandish for them, as they paint their school’s spirit rock, write on car windows and post flyers across town.

They host the stand outside their local grocery store, asking for donations from any shoppers or community members. Their joy comes from seeing so many people rally around their cause.

“I love seeing our community come together to support these kids!  Our first year we set a goal of raising $2000 and later when I saw that I thought, ‘What were we thinking? That's a huge amount!’ Our community came through spectacularly,” said Jami, one of the organizers.

Jami’s Tip to Stand Hosts: “Make sure you are spreading awareness and educating as much as you are raising donations. Awareness increases donations, which increases research, which will hopefully lead to a cure!
