Welcome to the 9th Annual Rogers Family Lemonade Stand! We will be holding our annual Lemonade Stand on Saturday May 28, 2022 to help raise money and awareness for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Last year our amazing “Lemonade Stand community” rose to the occasion through mini-events, online auction, “drive thru” events and a Virtual 5K to donate more than $30,000! Let’s see if we can do the same thing in 2022!

Holding our stand each year continues to have extra meaning for us since 2018 when one of the students at Nicolle's pre-school, 4-year old William Anderson, was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor. Unfortunately, William lost his battle with Wilms Tumor in August 2018.

While our lemonade stand certainly cannot fill the void of the loss of William (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 eight 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 May 28, 2022.

2) Make a donation to Alex's Lemonade through our secure ALSF webpage: https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/2624234

3) 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!

4) Visit our online auction to bid on some amazing items at https://www.charityauctionstoday.com/auctions/rogerslemonadestand-31807

5) Your business or family can become a sponsor of our stand—contact us for details.

6) 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.

7) VOLUNTEER! As our event has grown, we need help in creating/managing mini events, as well as managing our large event on May 28th! 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 William Anderson, Taylor Hendrix, Edie Gilger, "Princess Lacey" Holsworth and of course Alex Scott whose vision continues to inspire our family everyday.
