Kids' Summer Lemonade Stand Donates Profit

What’s better than a glass of ice cold lemonade on a hot summer day? Knowing you helped give back to the community while doing so!

In early August, $40 was donated to Children’s Cancer Connection by a few kids who held a lemonade stand in their neighborhood. Morgan, Clara and Leo Stuedemann along with their friends, Sydney and Tommy Ross (all of West Des Moines) worked really hard all day to sell lemonade and brownies.

They began the day by making signs and hanging them up all over the neighborhood. The kids felt very good about raising the money that would help others and so did the customers, who were glad to support Children’s Cancer Connection (some even gave a little extra for their treats!). By the end of the day, the kids had sold the goodies to friends, neighbors and even the FedEx driver!

Thank you for thinking of Children’s Cancer Connection on a hot summer day!
