Welcome to the 3rd Annual When Life Gives You Lemons Make Lemonade Stand Project. And thanks so much for agreeing to sign up to run a lemonade stand—we couldn’t do it without you. Each year our volunteers—many of them kids—set up lemonade stands across Southern California and sell lemonade to benefit local children’s charities. The Big Sunday lemonade stands are set up at the end of driveways, in schools, in parks, at farmer’s markets, in malls and at other locations far and wide. This year, on May 2 and 3, Big Sunday lemonade stands will raise money for the Los Angeles Times Summer Camp Campaign, which offers scholarships to low-income children; Para Los Ninos, which provides educational and direct services to low-income families; Shane’s Inspiration, which builds accessible playgrounds for children with disabilities; Mothers Against Drunk Driving—Orange County Chapter, which supports programs to stop drunk driving and prevent underage drinking; and the Young Storytellers Foundation, a writing program that helps low-income schoolchildren develop literacy, self-expression and self-esteem. Each lemonade stand chooses one of the five charities to support.
