Ten Thousand Villages, Princeton donates 15% of sales to Alex’s Lemonade Stand during fundraising event
In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, Ten Thousand Villages in Princeton will host a Community Shopping Event to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand during the Foundation’s National Lemonade Days initiative on Sunday, June 8 from Noon – 4pm. The event will also take place at the following Ten Thousand Villages locations: Center City Philadelphia, Chestnut Hill, Exton, King of Prussia, Media, Ardmore and Wilmington.
Lemonade Days 2014 will mark 10 years since childhood cancer fighter Alexandra “Alex” Scott challenged the nation to help her raise $1 million toward finding cures for all kids with cancer, one cup of lemonade at a time.
Ten Thousand Villages' mission is to create opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our markets through long-term fair trading relationships. Ten Thousand Villages is proud host this fundraising event for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to help a cause closer to home.
Founded by Alex Scott (1996-2004) in 2004, National Lemonade Days is a three day national event that grew out of Alex's front yard lemonade stand, and is held every year over the same June weekend. During National Lemonade Days, dedicated volunteers host thousands of Alex's Lemonade Stands across the country, raising over $1 million for childhood cancer research. June 2014 will mark the 11th Annual Lemonade Days with an estimated 10,000 volunteers at over 2,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands around the nation making a difference for children with cancer. Lemonade Days 2014 is set for June 6, 7 and 8!
