From iMommies:

Sunkist is offering free lemonade stands again this year! For those of you who didn’t order last year, this is truly a great way for children to “take a stand” in helping others. Sunkist will send your child a lemonade stand (free shipping included) if they pledge to donate all earnings to a charity…AND your child gets to select the charity (our son raised money for the National MS Society last year)! Let them give to the organization that means the most to them, and Sunkist will reward them for their giving spirit!

Included with the stand is a lemon peeler, plastic juicer, and recipes for different varieties of lemonade. The Sunkist Take a Stand site also has printable signs and sales worksheets. Great summertime activity for kids!

My daughter Autumn is SO excited about this. She's planning to hold her stand outside a pet store (with their permission, of course) and donate her proceeds to the Michigan Humane Society. She's a huge animal lover and advocate, and since we signed up for the stand to be sent to us yesterday, she has been making plans and talking about it almost non-stop.

If you sign up and plan to hold a lemonade sale for charity, I'd love to hear your story and what your child's charity of choice is. Comment or email me with the details!
