It is difficult to say that there was a lot of summer this year, but it would not August without getting to enjoy a nice cold glass of lemonade. Even more fulfilling is an icy glass of lemonade that will help support the fight against childhood cancer throughout North America and worldwide.
Wednesday, August 20 Red Robin Gourmet Burgers join Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation in the fight against childhood cancer. Free samples of Freckled Lemonade will be served on the lemonade stands set up within the participation of Red Robin restaurants, where people can make donations to help raise money for the Alex Foundation. The two sides set a goal of raising $ 100,000 during the National Day of lemonade.
Alex Lemonade Stand was founded by young Alex Scott, a girl from Connecticut who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma just weeks after his first birthday. At the age of four years, the state of Alex worsened and she underwent a stem cell transplant to send the condition in remission.
After the transplant was a success, Alex told her mother that "when I leave the hospital, I want to have a lemonade stand" and the Foundation began there. Alex planned to use lemonade stands as a way to raise funds to help doctors perform life-changing transplants from other sick children, like experience. In its first year it raised over $ 2000 for what she called "her hospital."
In addition to the support of the National Day of lemonade, Red Robin has established four other ways to help Alex the fight against childhood cancer that fans can participate from now through November 2. Liz Scott, Alex's mother said that the support of Red Robin has enabled the Foundation to expand so the family never dreamed.
"the four other ways to make a donation to provide a variety of options for customers to support Alex Lemonade support Foundation and we appreciate everyone who takes the time to help support our mission to fight against childhood cancer. "
