Take a Stand for Charity
Take a Stand knows how much kids want to help make a difference! And with a little encouragement and a lemonade stand, families can squeeze their way into raising money for their favorite charity.
You may not realize it yet, but you and your lemonade stand will be a powerful force in your community. Not only will you make your family proud, you will have a chance to talk to your friends and neighbors about an issue that is important to you.
Kids across America have already helped raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Children's Miracle Network, among various other local charities. Now, it's your turn to show that kids can make a difference!
"I'm still collecting money for my charity for the kids who are less fortunate than I am. I feel very lucky to have a great mommy and brother who are healthy and Happy. I want to make those kids at the mcDonald house a little happy too when they see how much I raised for them..."—Amanda Lavorgna
