Yesterday, the kids participated in K12's Operation Lemonade, a weekend-long event taking place across the nation to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation -- which raises money to help fund research on pediatric cancers. (You can read more about Alex Scott here.)They spent a total of 3 1/2 hours -- from 10 a.m. to 1:30-ish -- singing songs, chanting jingles, and dancing dances to bring in customers and donations to their stand. And it was a perfect day -- very hot!
I reminded them that every quarter helped the cause, to be polite and offer their customers change. No one wanted any.
And the whole event was something to behold...one of those admire-from-afar moments in a mommy's life when you remember how fun it is to get kids involved in raising money for something so worthy.
I'm proud to say they raised $44.50 from all their efforts.
One girl's vision became two more kids' mission.
