We all know that there is never enough funding for things like cancer, therefore anytime we are sent a story about helping such a wonderful charity, we are always happy to help promote it. We know our readers are great and that they love hearing about how they can help.
And with that being said…
The American Greetings Properties and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation are once again teaming up for a berry special campaign during September in support of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Pop culture icon Strawberry Shortcake is enlisting families across the country to host Strawberry Shortcake Alex’s Lemonade Stands to raise funds and awareness for the cause. The campaign, now in its 3rd year, has raised more than $ 150,000 in support of research projects dedicated to finding a cure for all kids with cancer.
Over 1,000 volunteers across the country have taken part in the Strawberry Shortcake Alex’s Lemonade Stands including Emmy-nominated actress Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad) who hosted her own stand with her family in Los Angeles.
Want to know how you can get involved?
Families can sign up to host Strawberry Shortcake Alex’s Lemonade Stands during the month of September at http://www.alexslemonade.org/campaign/strawberry-shortcake.
Volunteers will be provided with Strawberry Shortcake kits that include vouchers for strawberry lemonade and branded materials to make their lemonade stand “stand” apart. In addition to the funds raised, American Greetings Properties will donate $50 to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for the first 300 stands registered in September which will go toward research of the disease that affects over 12,000 children in the United States each year.
