Lemonade Leaders

Kate Hendley

Lemonade Stand Location: Alabama 

From fundraising during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to participating in Lemonade Days, Kate has been a supporter of ALSF since 2018. She found out about ALSF through her little cousin, Tillery, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor at just 15 months old. Kate's cousins began hosting lemonade stands in honor of Tillery at grocery stores, a high school football game, and even virtually. Kate loved joining them, and has hosted several lemonade stands of her own on Saturdays during football season at Auburn University. With so many fans walking by on their way to the games, it's easy to make connections and raise awareness about childhood cancer. 

During Lemonade Days 2023, Kate is looking forward to continuing to raise awareness and funds for more research hours so that one day, no child will have cancer. 

“Tillery is so special to me, and through her journey fighting cancer, I have learned about wonderful organizations that support children and their families who are battling pediatric cancer.” - Kate Hendley, Lemonade Leader
