Whether you look forward to the annual holiday on February 14th or dread the thought of it each year, we ask you to forgo feelings of despair or gifts of flowers and candy to truly embrace the spirit of love by supporting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. We’re not talking about the romantic, materialistic love that retailers want to sell you on, but instead the love seen in the face of Alex and all of our childhood cancer heroes. So put aside the cupids, conversation hearts and carnations and consider truly giving the sweetest gift you can give – hope to kids battling cancer.
Below are a few ideas to open up your heart this year:
- Show your love to kids like Ryder, by signing up to hold a lemonade stand during National Lemonade Days! We encourage people to hold lemonade stands at anytime of the year, but National Lemonade Days (June 8-10, 2012) is what Alex envisioned when she originally held her stand in her front yard – a dedicated weekend where the country would come together and show their love for all kids fighting cancer. It’s easy, sign up today. In addition, consider spreading the love by becoming a Nat'l Lemonade Days Stand Ambassador!
- Instead of spending $100 on flowers destined to wilt or dinner at a crowded restaurant, show how big your heart is by making a donation in your sweetheart’s name to ALSF. Procrastinators – we’ve got you covered… donate online right now!
- Get your heart pumping and sign up for Team Lemon! Pick a race and sign up as a couple, family or by yourself to raise money and awareness for ALSF. Plan to visit the “City of Brotherly Love” and sign up for the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia being held on May 6. This race sells out fast – shoot us an email at [email protected] to reserve your spot with Team Lemon.
- They’ll be no shortage of love if you win a brand new, red Volvo XC60. Donate to our cause by purchasing raffle tickets to win a new Volvo XC60 (you can choose the color) being auctioned off at Alex’s “Original” Lemonade Stand on June 9.
