St. Agnes-St. Dominic Summer Campers to Host Alex's Lemonade Stand Friday, June 11
Help Put the Squeeze on Childhood Cancer
On Friday, June 11, summer campers at St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School will stir up some fun and help put the squeeze on childhood cancer as they participate in Lemonade Days, a nationwide effort to raise money for pediatric cancer research. The SAA-SDS campers will host their own Alex's Lemonade Stand Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in front of St. Dominic School located at 30 Avon Road. All proceeds will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. 
 
Hosting a fundraising lemonade stand was the inspired idea of Alexandra “Alex” Scott. True to the spirit of the phrase “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” Alex, at age four, held a lemonade stand to help find a cure for all childhood cancers, including her own.
