Registration Now Open for the 8th Annual Anthem LemonAid

July 17-19
Kids Helping Kids Fight Cancer

Summertime is right around the corner and so is Anthem LemonAid! Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Virginia has once again teamed up with Children’s Miracle Network to organize this grassroots fundraising event to help raise awareness and funds for the fight against pediatric cancer.

This “kids helping kids” event is a great way to remember the excitement of setting up a neighborhood lemonade stand as a child and now share the experience with your children for a worthy cause. Children of all ages and businesses of all sizes throughout central Virginia will host hundreds of LemonAid stands the weekend of July 17-19 to support children fighting cancer.

Families, businesses and community groups are encouraged to register online and help raise funds for pediatric cancer treatment at Children’s Miracle Network’s member hospitals.  There are fun contests available for all participating groups too—participate in our Most Festive Stand Contest, Business Challenge and the first annual Day Care Challenge! To register to host a stand, please visit our website or call (804) 228-5929 or toll-free 888-784-9373. Each registered participant receives a FREE LemonAid kit complete with lemonade, cups, a pitcher, balloons, stickers and signage to help decorate the stand. We provide the supplies and you pick the spot—a neighborhood pool, a local business, a grocery store or your front yard.

In addition to hosting a traditional LemonAid stand, participants have the opportunity to raise money using an Online LemonAid Stand. Online LemonAid Stands will be active from registration until July 31. Online stands are a great opportunity to utilize your email address book and your Facebook and MySpace accounts for a great cause. Each registrant page is set up on a secure network, can be personalized with goal information, pictures, and messages, and can even honor a friend or family member who is battling or has battled cancer.

Last year, more than 750 LemonAid stands and 100 Online LemonAid Stands raised over $110,000. In our 8th year and with your support, we will continue to raise funds one cup of LemonAid at a time. Please consider joining our effort to “put the squeeze” on pediatric cancer.
