LOCAL VOLUNTEERS TO HOST ALEX’S LEMONADE STAND TO HELP FIGHT
KIDS’ CANCER ON JUNE 13, 2015
9-year old Elora Glazer and 11 year old Ethan Glazer along with Upper Makefield Fire Co.
will host a lemonade stand to contribute to childhood cancer cures
In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, the Upper Makefield Fire Company and the Glazer family will host an Alex’s Lemonade Stand during the Alex’s Lemonade Days on June 13, 2015 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm at the Upper Makefield Fire House, 1221 Taylorsville Road, Washington Crossing, PA 18977. The Glazer kids decided to hold a lemonade stand because they wanted to help find the cure for cancer. Ethan Glazer wanted to get the firehouse involved because, “cancer is like a fire that spreads throughout the body. We thought that since you (the firemen) put out fires, we could help out the cancer fire.”
Ethan and Elora will be passing out lemonade, cupcakes and gluten free cupcakes. All they ask for in return is for a donation for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. “Our goal is to raise $300 to donate to Alex’s” as quoted by 9 year-old Elora Glazer, “but we would be happy to donate more!”
Founded by Alex Scott (1996-2004) in 2004, Alex’s Lemonade Days is a three-day national event that grew out of Alex’s front yard lemonade stand. During Alex’s Lemonade Days, dedicated volunteers host thousands of Alex’s Lemonade Stands across the country, raising over $1 million for childhood cancer research. June 2015 will mark the 12th Annual Lemonade Days, and will continue Alex’s mission to raise money one cup of lemonade at a time, renewing her idea that any contributor, at any age, can make a difference. Alex’s Lemonade Days 2015 is set for June 12, 13 and 14! The Glazer Family and the Upper Makefield Fire Company are proud to be a part of Lemonade Days this year and to join Alex’s in the fight against childhood cancer.
