Now an annual tradition, my family looks forward to doing this fundraiser every June. I want my kids to grow up realizing how fortunate they are to be perfectly healthy and that it's important to help others as much as we can. My heart goes out to all children who suffer from cancer – as a mother, I can't even begin to imagine what those families go through. This is my family’s way of helping – one cup at a time. Plus, it’s fun spending a nice summer day together mixing drinks and baking cup cakes :)

        Over the past two years, we’ve raised more than $800 from a simple lemonade stand in our front yard. I believe every small donation adds up to make a big difference.

        Thank you to all our friends, family, neighbors and co-workers for your generous support.
