While visiting Labor Daze in Oakfield, this PR director of Care-A-Van Ministries had the best lemondade ever.
This delicious cup of lemondade was found at Alex's Lemonade Stand which was located right in the hub of the activity
What was even better, was that the stand was by donations only which went to a wonderful cause, This cause being to raise funds for childhood cancer.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is a unique foundation that has evolved from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement for childhood cancer. Since Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004) set up her front yard stand, more than $ 12 million has been raised for childhood cancer by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
I had the pleasure of meeting Megan Williams and her husband Matt. Their young son Brady had been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer.
The community really rallied around the family and the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation to make a difference in Fighting Childhood Cancer One Cup At a time.

Kathy Hamm and Megan Williams still smiling after a long day. When reading Brady's blog tonight, as of yesterday, not including today, this effort had raised $ 800.00!
It is wonderful to see how a community can rally together to make a difference in the lives of others!
