 Saturday is National Alex's Lemonade Stand Day but some ambitious youngsters in Bowling Green got a head start on the event by manning their stands Friday.

Kids in Community Action's Super Summer Club sold lemonade to raise money for childhood cancer research at Warren Elementary and Natcher Elementary Friday.

This year's theme is Fishing For a Cure" complete with a boat they painted. It was a great way to spend the day doing something to helpothers.

"They're helping kids by learning knowledge about pediatric cancer,"said Super Summer Club Director Erin Lightfoot, "and they're raising the money and all day we learn about it and why we're doing it. It touches their heart, big time."

Since the year 2000 Alex's Lemonade Stands have raised more than $100-million for childhood cancer research.
