Ten-year old Anthony Raises Money for Alzheimers
Anthony was 10 years old last year and when his mom asked him if he’d like to run a lemonade stand to help raise money for Alzheimer’s, he jumped at the chance. It took a few weeks or more to get everything together. His mom Dawn made arrangements with the local Farmer’s Market to allow them to set up his lemonade stand (courtesy of Sunkist) and after 3 weekends of that, they’d raised $400. Anthony did all the customer service – mom says she just helped and made sure he was polite
It was a fabulous experience and he can’t wait to do it again!
After they sent the check in, they were contacted by a woman from Alzheimer’s and when she realized that it was a kid who’d raised the money, she got so very excited! She has offered to help us with them with their efforts this year, sending banners, brochures, etc. to help spread awareness – so this year looks to be even more fun and hopefully, will result in more money raised for a fabulous cause
Awesome job, Anthony!

That’s my boy! According to the Sunkist website, May 1st is when they’ll roll out the new stands. We’ll be one of the first, hopefully!
