Welcome to the 10th Annual Rogers Family Lemonade Stand! We will be holding our annual Lemonade Stand on Saturday June 3, 2023 to help raise money and awareness for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). We're not sure how many lemonade stands we'll hold in the future, so for the 10th anniversary of our event we have some BIG goals--to hit $200,000 raised for ALSF since our first lemonade stand. In order to do so, we'll need to raise a record amount--$37,000!
Our good friend Lisa Archbald, who has been one of the biggest supporters of our lemonade stand event, is also teaming up with us this year to celebrate her 45th birthday! As part of Lisa's birthday celebration, she's set a goal to raise $15,000 and if she does, will shave her head to honor the many kids and families who are facing some difficult circumstances.
While our lemonade stand certainly cannot fill the void of the loss of kids like Alex, our stand hero William Anderson 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 ten 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 June 3, 2023.
2) Make a donation to Alex's Lemonade through our secure ALSF webpage: https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3042699
3) Make a donation through Lisa's 45th Birthday Celebration page which benefits ALSF and counts toward the $15,000 tally which result in Lisa shaving her head! https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3042699/member/248483
4) 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!
5) Visit our online auction to bid on some amazing items at https://www.charityauctionstoday.com/auctions/RogersLemonadeStand-36848
6) Your business or family can become a sponsor of our stand—contact us for details.
7) 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.
8) VOLUNTEER! As our event has grown, we need help in creating/managing mini events, as well as managing our large event on June 3rd! 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 Libby Kulas, William Anderson, Taylor Hendrix, Edie Gilger, "Princess Lacey" Holsworth and of course Alex Scott whose vision continues to inspire our family everyday.
