Some kids learn about business by starting a charity fundraiser. It’s a great way for kids to learn about business and care for others at the same time.

Check out Alice Seba’s six-year old son’s fundraising page Jump Rope for Heart where he has already raised $680 towards his $1000 goal! The site is fun and informative! To sweeten the pot, Alice is offering her Internet Marketing Sweetie course for free! Check it out and help support a great cause!

Seven-year old Landry decided to join his mom on her Relay for Life team to honor a treasured neighbor who recently succumbed to cancer. Landry was very fond of Mrs. Nancy (as everyone was). He looked forward to going to her house after school on the days that I was at the office. She loved spoiling him.

Landry’s mom formed the ‘Nancy’s Neighbors’ team and participated in the 2007 Relay for Life at a local high school. Landry had a blast at Relay. Even though he wasn’t an ‘official’ team member last year, he still stayed up until 3:00 in the morning walking.

When she started organizing the team for this year, Landry asked if he could join and become an ‘official’ team member. Of course she said yes, but told him he had to raise at least the $100 minimum himself.

So he decided he would have a LEMONADE STAND to raise some money.

Landry is very much aware of what cancer is. He loved Mrs. Nancy and also knew several family members who battled cancer themselves.

Landry’s goal is to find a CURE!

Landry set up his lemonade stand in front their house last Saturday. He made a whopping $108 selling lemonade. He also sent out an email to friends and family who he knew couldn’t make it to his lemonade stand and asked if they would like to buy a glass of “virtual” lemonade. He made $320 selling the virtual stuff.

In total, he’s up to $428! You should see the grin on his face!

Check out Landry’s videos!

This one is for the virtual lemonade.

This one is for the real lemonade.

Well done, boys! And my compliments to your amazing moms who are helping make it happen!
