Description:
Kids helping Kids Make a Difference! In celebration of Global Youth Services Day,
join other schools across the country as they host lemonade stands to
raise money for pediatric cancer research and participate in other
related projects. Schools will collaborate with each other through a
blog, a special "kick off" videoconference spirit rally and closing
project collage videoconference event.
During
this two week project, each school will hold their own lemonade stands
to help raise funds for pediatric cancer. Schools can hold one big
lemonade stand day or a series of lemonade stand events throughout the
two weeks. After each day of sales, schools will report their totals
through the website. Last year we raised more than $17,000. Think we
can double it?
Schools will also have an opportunity to participate in a variety of special projects
inspired by the idea of kids helping kids. All projects are tied to
Pennsylvania and national standards. Most importantly - - they're fun!
Alex's
Lemonade Stand is a national organization with Greater Philadelphia
roots. The organization grew out of the front yard lemonade stand
started by Alexandra “Alex” Scott, a pediatric cancer patient. In 2000,
at the age of four, Alex opened her first annual lemonade stand with
high hopes of raising money for pediatric cancer causes, specifically
research into a cure. At the time, Alex was receiving treatment at the
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for Neuroblastoma.
Every
year thereafter, Alex held an annual lemonade stand in her Pennsylvania
front yard and inspired others to donate money to her cause. After
fighting her own battle with cancer for over seven years, she died
peacefully at home in August of 2004. At the time of her death, she had
raised over $900,000 for pediatric cancer research and, amazingly, was
only eight years old. As of January 2006, Alex’s Lemonade Stand
Foundation has raised more than $10 million for childhood cancer
research.
