Is there anything better than lemonade on a hot day?<\/p>\n

Well, some small people have anticipated your thirst and are, as I write this, making the drink you need.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 2, starting at 2PM, Team Aaker\/Smith (led by Cooper, Devon and T\u00e9a Sloane) and Team Foster (led by Cole and Sophie) will be squarely in front of Diablo Foods<\/a> in Lafayette running their third annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research.\"Little<\/p>\n

As with all Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stands, customers can pay whatever they want for a cup of the delicious summertime beverage. All proceeds benefit Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Foundation<\/span>. There\u2019s even some talk that the parents of the young lemon-squeezers will be matching all\u00a0contributions, so every dollar spent on lemonade can become $3 raised to fight childhood cancer.<\/p>\n

In The Dragonfly Effect, we wrote about Alex, the remarkable young girl who started this tradition when she was diagnosed with cancer, and decided she would raise money to find a cure. \u00a0We also profiled the foundation established in her honor that has raised in excess of $30 Million to date. For more on Alex\u2019s remarkable story, accomplishments and legacy, check out our case study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"CooperIf Lafayette, CA is a little out of your way, I hope you\u2019ll find a lemonade stand to patronize, wherever you are. If you\u2019re inspired to hold a lemonade stand fundraiser yourself, or to contribute to the cause in another way, visit ALSF.org<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We hope to see you out there tomorrow. Bring your thirst, and the time to enjoy quenching it!<\/p>\n
