Sunkist “Take A Stand” Lemonade Stands!
Want to have a fun summer activity for your kids and give back to the community at the same time? The award-winning Sunkist Take A Stand® campaign is back this summer with an exciting twist! Starting now, Sunkist Growers is encouraging families across the country to host a fresh lemonade sale to raise money for a charity close to their hearts.
Since 2004, the Sunkist Take a Stand program has motivated more than 65,000 kids from the U.S. and Canada to sign up to “take a stand” for charity. Open to ages 7-12, the campaign has raised an estimated $3 million dollars for charity over the past nine years!
You can download free online tools to prepare for a lemonade sale, such as such as posters, recipes, and pricing tracker at Take a Stand with Sunkist. And because sometimes it’s just more fun to have an “official” lemonade stand for selling, Sunkist is releasing new, limited edition 2012 stands that will spark creativity and help kids personalize their charitable giving efforts. The stands are one-piece, easy to assemble and comes with a festive lemonade-themed sticker sheet. Kids can add extra drawings and messages that highlight their personal cause and ultimately create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
According to Giving USA, an annual report on American philanthropy, for the second year in a row, charitable giving barely grew, rising by just 0.9 percent in 2011. In an effort to boost interest in fundraising for good causes, Sunkist will give away ten lemonade stands a week from July 18, 2012 through August 28, 2012. Fans can enter to win by visiting Sunkist’s Facebook page and submitting the charity they would like to support.

I am actually going to do one with my boyfriend’s daughter. It will help her appreciate money and also get to know our new neighbors. I can not wait!
We have never done a lemonade stand but I think the kids would love doing one
My 3 kids and I set up a lemonade stand about a month ago. We have 9 kids in our Cul De Sac so It ended up being a party of kids at curbside yelling “LEMONADE AND COOKIES FOR SALE” It was sooo much FUN!!!!!
My 5 year old daughter asked me about a week ago if she could sell lemonade to make money. She aslo wants to sell the little tooth paste packs we got for free from our recent cruise. She is already understanding how to make a living.
I have never had a lemonade stand, but I would love to have one with my kids! I think they would love it. We would raise the money for a food bank in our area called God’s Pantry.
I’ve never had a lemonade stand but I would love to do one with the kids at my school! I have 10 Kindergarten kids and we would love to make this one of our projects during camp! We have done a lot of other fundraisers and collections for charities and organizations during the year and I am sure they would have a great time decorating and putting together the stand and raising money for a charity of our own choosing!
My girls have never set up a lemonade stand, but they have seen them around. This would be another great way to teach them about fundraising and helping other. My oldest is also very creative, so she would have a lot of fun getting the stand ready.
We have never had a lemonade stand, but my 2 little boys and I would love to set up and earn We have 2 causes that are very dear to us Autism and Epilepsy. My oldest son suffers with epilepsy and my middle son is autistic. We love to earn money for both of these causes
No not yet, too little!
My granddaughters have been itching to do a lemonade stand all summer. They keep asking Grandpop to build them one. We love the Make A Wish Foundation for granting very ill children’s desires. Finally, a reason to get my husband on this project. And, the best part….. Target has right now 90% off lemonade stand supplies in the seasonal clearance aisle. I just purchased yesterday two lemonade lawn signs, 2 money boxes, 2 lemonade banners, 2 order pads and very cute citrus stirrers all for $2.50! It was meant to be.
I did lemonade stands as a child and would love to do it with my grandkids
We have never had a lemonade stand, but have wanted to. Maybe this will be the year…
Growing up, my sister and I did. But my kids still have not.
my son and my daughter have never did one, but it would be a great occasion to teach them about fundraising !
My boys (age 7 and 9) love doing lemonade stands. They have donated the money from previous stands to local charities like the Buffalo Zoo and Buffalo City Mission. They just did a lemonade stand last weekend when I had my garage sale. Our family had decided that all money from the garage sale and lemonade stand would go toward a family vacation (we’ve never really had one). They baked cookies and brownies with their grandmother to sell with their lemonade. They made $45.00. It was great! Now they want to do another to raise money for another one of their charities.
I had a lemonade stand with my best friend, we know take turns going to each others houses with the kids and have coffee while the kids play. I would love for all of our kids to have one together!!!
My 3 kids have never had a lemonade stand. This is a really great idea and even if we dont win.. I am still going to find a date to do one. Great way to teach kids about giving back!

We never have one and would like to give it a try
My nieces have set up lemonade stands. This is agreat idea
My 5 year old daughter had one at our yard sale last year. she had lemonade and cookies she make. She sold them for .25 each. It was really cute. She ended up making 24.75. It was so nice to see her excitement every time someone wanted something.
This is something my daughter has been wanting to do for awhile. We still haven’t . . . maybe this will be motivation!
My son and his friends on our street had one years ago. They actually made about $20.00. Not bad for boys. I would like to do this with special needs kids.
We have done a lemonade stand a couple of times with our kids. We just did one in May along with our yard sale.
The kids decided to give their profits to their school which was raising money to build their first playground this fall.
Since my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes she has done different things to raise money for JDRF. She raised $50 at a lemonade stand, sold scrunchies and bracelets as well. It would be great to win this pride and have more proceeds go to JDRF.
Yes, we’ve had sales before to benefit the local library’s summer reading program. This cause remains dear to our hearts, but this year we’d like to host a sale to benefit the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life.

My 10 yr old daughter loves doing Lemonade stands. Last year her and a friend did one and made a little over $60.00! An ‘official lemonade stand’ from Sunkist would tickle her pink!
My son has never had a lemonade stand, but as a kid I had a Kool-Aid stand!
My kids have never had a lemonade stand, but I think this would be a great idea for all of the kids in our play group to join in and have a stand with lemonade and baked goods that we all spend the morning making!
Yes, my son had a lemonade stand this Spring as part of the school district’s young entrepreneur day.
My daughter belongs to the relay for life (cancer society) and she does lemonade stands a couple of time during summer for fund raising events.. she would love this. 😉
Every yard sale we have the kids do lemonade and cupcake sale.
My youngest want to have a lemonade stand so bad. Trying to get my husband to build one. Would love to give it a try sometime.
I had a lemonade stand when I was a lil kid. It works great when you’re having a garage sale too.
no, we haven’t
My kids have never had a lemonade stand, but my oldest just turned 3. I am thinking this would be a great thing for him to do. I am constantly trying to teach him how to give to others. I think it is one of those lessons that we forget to include them in when we are doing them ourselves.
My girls are too little for one now but when they get a little older we will def have one. I can’t wait!! I had one when i was little and it was lots of fun.
We have never had a lemon aid stand, but my DD wants to have one when we have our garage sale. She said she will make something other than lemon aid because she is alergic to citrus!
My kids and the neighbours did a lemonade stand every day for a week last summer, using an appliance box…. then the box got left in the rain…. and no more “stand”!
My son has been asking to do a lemonade stand all summer, but we have been waiting for the Discovery Kids lemonade stand to go on sale at CVS, after all, part of the fun is the set up and decorating of signs. Better than getting a great deal at CVS would be winning a Sunkist lemonade stand from LRWC.
My son is 2 and my daughter is 3 weeks old, so too young for a lemonade stand. However, I work in daycare and every year we have the older kids do a lemonade stand for charity!
Never had a lemonade stand, but should be a fun first time!!
My son had one at our yard sale recently! It was a big hit and he loved every minute of it!
My granddaughter has never had a lemonade stand. She is 9 years old. My daughter and her friends had one when they were 10. They even made the local newspaper for the costumes and advertising they did to promote their stand. This is a really great idea even if we dont win. It is and always will be a great way to teach kids about giving back!
My kids have done a lemonade stand a few times this year to raise money for Muscular Dystophy. Their cousin is afflicted with this disease. They raised over $150…this lemonade stand would look alot nicer than the table and chairs they have 🙂
Always talked about it but never have. Maybe if we had a proper stand. 🙂
My daughter would love this!!!!!!
I did when I was a kid, but my kids have not yet…they want to though!
My daughters would love this!!
Something we are planning to do with some friends and neighbors next month!
Good luck everyone. saw this after 10 🙁
My sons had their first lemonade stand yesterday!
