Welcome to the 8th Annual Rogers Family Lemonade Stand! We will be holding our annual Lemonade Stand on Saturday August 7, 2021 to help raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Our 2020 event was certainly interesting as we adjusted to the limitations of COVID. Despite some challenges, our amazing “Lemonade Stand community” rose to the occasion through mini-events, online auction, “drive thru” event and Virtual 5K to donate more than $24,000!  Let’s see if we can do the same thing in 2021!

Holding our stand each year continues to have extra meaning for us since 2018 when one of the students at Nicolle's pre-school, 4-year old William Anderson, was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor. Unfortunately, William lost his battle with Wilms Tumor in August 2018.

While our lemonade stand certainly cannot fill the void of the loss of William (and so many other pediatric cancer patients), it is also a reminder of just how important it is to give... to make a difference... to help fund research and services in an area that is the leading cause of death by disease in children under 19, yet receives only 4% of the budget from the National Cancer Institute.

So we need all of YOU--as you have done for the past seven years, to help us press on to raise awareness and funds for kids and families who shouldn't have to deal with the harsh realities of pediatric cancer. 

Here's a few ways you can be a part of this cause that literally has the ability to change lives:

1) Come to our lemonade stand on August 7, 2021.

2) Make a donation to Alex's Lemonade through our secure ALSF webpage: https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/2233305

3) Visit our online auction and bid on some amazing items at: https://www.charityauctionstoday.com/auctions/RogersLemonadeStand-24931

4) Your business or family can become a sponsor of our stand—contact us for details.

 5) Send a donation through Venmo (@RogersLemonadeStand) or PayPal (PayPal.Me/RogersLemonadeStand).  100% of the proceeds we collect at our stand go to Alex's Lemonade Stand--we do not "offset" any of our expenses.

6) Donate an item for our silent auction or connect us to someone who may be able to donate on a silent auction item.  Also be sure to bid on silent auction items as they become available!

7) Participate in our Virtual 5K (registration details to follow closer to the event).

8) VOLUNTEER! As our event has grown, we need help in creating/managing mini events, as well as managing our large event on August 7th! Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering or just simply help by sharing information about our lemonade stand or website with people you know.

Most importantly, we invite everyone to continue to honor and remember some of our childhood cancer heroes including William Anderson, Taylor Hendrix, Edie Gilger, "Princess Lacey" Holsworth and of course Alex Scott whose vision continues to inspire our family everyday.
