Sunkist Growers is once again promoting their Take A Stand campaign, a program started almost 10 years ago to help kids raise money for a charity of their choice by selling fresh Sunkist lemonade.

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.

Sunkist has given free lemonade stands to help kids ages 7-12 raise an estimated $3 million dollars for good causes such as neighborhood animal shelters, local soup kitchens and major health organizations.

What a great way for parents and others to get children involved in something bigger than themselves.

My daughter is a couple of years away from being able to participate, but this is something I can see us doing together along with her cousin.  While I have charities that are near and dear to my heart, I can’t wait for her to come up with a charity she feels strongly about.

To help start a lemonade stand:

Free Online Tools which include:

  • Posters
  • Recipes
  • Pricing Tracker
  • Safety Tips
  • Help on choosing a charity

 

 

Sometimes it’s more fun to have an “official” lemonade stand for selling, so Sunkist has released new, limited edition 2012 stands. The freshly redesigned stands are one-piece, easy to assemble and each comes with a festive lemonade-themed sticker sheet. Kids can color the stickers with markers, add extra drawings and messages that highlight their personal cause and ultimately create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, sure to grab the attention of the neighbors.

NOTE: Sunkist will give away ten lemonade stands a week  through August 28, 2012.Fans can enter to win by visiting Sunkist on Facebook and submitting the charity they would like to support.

But there’s more just for my readers:

Comments

  1. I would love it if my nieces would be involved with fundraising for any charity. Donating to those who need is very important. To choose one is hard, but to keep in line with what I volunteer with and what I already have my nieces understanding as important to contributing would be to a local humane society or other charity assisting with animals such as http://www.smallpawsrescue.org.

  8. I’d love to raise money for the Humane Society (I love my dogs!) or the Cancer Society (my grammy died of cancer when I was little)

  9. My kids would raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh PA. They help so many children and their families through the roughest times. A few, we have had the honor of knowing personally.

  23. My kids would raise money for Lollypop Farm. It is the humane society here in our town. My daughter makes handmade blankets for the cats, we foster litters of kittens and I work there. It’s a great asset to our community!

  32. My niece would love to raise money to help the poor children at school she notices children that do not have toys so probably toys for tots

  38. For my kids, it’s the Ronald McDonald house. We go there once a month and help make lunch for the residents!

  66. My daughter has a blast collecting for unicef every halloween, so she would probably send to them again!

  76. My daughter would pick the cystic fibrosis foundation since she and her 2 brothers have cystic fibrosis

  78. We Would love to raise money for Ccap an organization that provides help- with food, clothes and school supplies to needy families

  83. I liked a A Frugal Friend on Facebook!

  86. My kids would raise money for BlueVoice.org. BlueVoice.org is an ocean conservation organization, protecting dolphins and whales!

  145. My kids would love to raise money for our local animal shelter. We live in a small town, and our shelter has almost no funding.

  175. My kids would raise money for a local charity called Homefront, which is to help our returning veterans.

  190. We would love to raise money for the children of St. Jude’s Children’s hospital in Memphis.

  198. I think my kids would want to raise money for our local Children’s Home that takes in homeless children and helps them find foster parents, sends them to school and takes care of them. (They love volunteering with other children- it’s like play time for them!)

  206. The ALS Association. My mother died in 2009 after being diagnosed in 2008. We had so much help from the local ALS Association and they could use some help. They don’t get much attention donor-wise, usually just from the families they’ve helped. My mother was a wonderful grandmother to my children and they miss her, so I think they would choose this charity. Thanks.

  214. My kids would love to raise money for The Smile Train. It is so hard to believe that children have to go without getting their cleft palates fixed when it is such an easy operation.

  232. I would love to raise money for Project Back-Pack . . . this is a program I created 5 years that allows me to send home non-perishable food items to my families that need assistance (I am a school counselor). Through this program, I also supply winter boots, clothes, school supplies and holiday gifts when needed. Having and running a lemonade stand would be a great lesson for the students, too!! ;0)

  238. I’d like to raise money for St.Judes and the Lukemia & Lymphoma Society. My sister and I are both hodgkins lymphoma survivors. Thanks for the cool giveaway!

  245. my daughter has an annual lemonade stand to raise money for Animals in Distress, in Coopersburg, PA – where we got our handsome tabbies.
