PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — PACE East high school students will host their 3rd Annual Alex’s Lemonade Stand as part of the National Lemonade Days fundraiser on Friday, June 7, 2013 from 10am-1pm, at the PACE East Campus, 14780 Joplin Rd Manassas.
The students decided to get involved with Alex’s Lemonade Stand three years ago when they had extra time at the end of the school year. As they were getting ready to spend summer enjoying time off, they thought ending the year by giving back to the kids’ cancer fight would be inspiring.
Working with Alex’s Lemonade Stand each year not only raises money for children battling cancer, but also empowers the students with the knowledge that they are an important component to the community. Sometimes students get stuck focusing on their own needs and difficulties, and the Alex’s Lemonade Stand helps them to turn attention to their abilities while helping others.
Founded by Alex Scott (1996-2004) in 2004, Lemonade Days is a three day national event that grew out of Alex’s front yard lemonade stand, and is held every year over the same June weekend. During Lemonade Days, dedicated volunteers host thousands of Alex’s Lemonade Stands across the country, raising over $1 million for childhood cancer research in one weekend.
June 2013 will mark the 10th Annual Lemonade Days with an estimated 10,000 volunteers at over 2,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands around the nation making a difference for children with cancer. Lemonade Days 2013 is set for June 7, 8 and 9! New this year, chefs and moms Melissa d’Arabian and Alex Guarnaschelli will lend their support to the effort by providing kid-friendly recipes and tips to volunteers who sign up to host a lemonade stand during the three day fundraising initiative.
