LEMONADE STANDS FOR SIMON IN 2006

Simon's 9th Birthday Lemonade Stand on May 17, 2006

Celebrate Simon's 9th birthday with us at the second annual Simon's Birthday Lemonade Stand on May 17, 2006 in Salt Lake City! Donate online via the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation pages at Firstgiving.com if you can't join us in person on May 17th. Our 2005 lemonade stand in Salt Lake City raised $800, so we have set a goal of raising $800 through online contributions for this year's event. Any gift, large or small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Radio Interview May 3, 2006 - Markus, Mary, and Miriam gave a 20-minute live interview along with Liz Scott, mother of Alex Scott, on KCPW, a National Public Radio affiliate station in Salt Lake City. Everyone did a great job, and Miriam was especially amazing on-air!

The event takes place at Liberty Heights Fresh with all proceeds from the stand going to the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Children, parents, and guests of all ages will enjoy a street show at 4:00 pm by Marcus, Funny Man Who Does Tricks (Simon's favorite clown), followed by birthday cake at 4:30 pm. Simon's friends will also host Simon's Birthday Lemonade Stand from 3:30-6:30 pm, with the proceeds of each glass sold going to fund pediatric cancer research. Liberty Heights Fresh will donate the lemonade as well as 10 percent of the store's total daily proceeds.
