The Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk - Hybrid Event

The Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk - Hybrid Event

Hi! My name is Ava and my friends and I are excited to be holding the 9th annual Lemon Trails 5K Run/Walk this year. When I was in first grade (2016) I started a lemonade stand at our community garage sale to raise money for “sick kids”. My parents and I found Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and knew it was a great fit for our mission. This organization helps to fund grants for research, raise awareness, and support families with a mission to help find the cure for childhood cancer.

Our Mission

• Participation: My friends and siblings joined me on this mission.
• Fundraising: Since 2016, we have held 7 lemonade stands.

• Support: We are excited to raise $10,000 this year!
