When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade
Posted on May 25, 2017
You’re never too small to make a difference. This June Monkey Joe’s St. Louis encourages kids and families to give to the charity that inspires us most: Alex’s Lemonade Stand. With your help, our annual partnership with ALSF has made a major impact in the lives of kids’ across the nation.
Why Alex’s Lemonade Stand?
This foundation is a testament to the power of a caring heart and a determined spirit, regardless of age. At 4-years-old, Alexandra Scott had been battling cancer for over 3 years. Thankful to the doctors at her hospital and compassionate for other kids fighting the same disease, she decided to raise funds for childhood cancer research. One day and a lemonade stand later, she had raised an amazing $2000 in funding for a cure. An inspiration during her life, Alex continued to make an impact after she passed away four years later. During her life she raised over a million dollars for childhood cancer research. Her family continued the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in her name, proving that the smallest people can have the biggest impact.
How Can You Participate?
Donating to ALSF is simple, and Monkey Joe’s is doing our part to contribute. Purchase lemonade at our lemonade stand in June and we’ll donate 10% of the proceeds to Alex’s Lemonade Stand. You can also make a donation at the counter. We’ll give you a complimentary cup of lemonade, and you can write your name on a lemon for our ALSF donations wall.
Kids have big hearts. Encourage their giving spirits by donating to Alex’s Lemonade Stand at Monkey Joe’s St. Louis this June.
