Looking for a fun, kid-friendly activity this summer that also does good? Inspire your kids and their friends to support patients at Boston Children’s with a classic lemonade stand fundraiser!
Fundraising tips to share with your kids
- Suggest that your kids ask friends, family or local stores if they would be willing to donate supplies like lemons, cups or sugar so they can keep costs low.
- Encourage them to use our Boston Children’s Hospital fundraising kit, so it’s clear who the donated funds are helping.
- Help your kids get set up on a safe sidewalk or driveway on a sunny day, in a spot where people tend to walk or drive by often.
- Use a QR code to make giving simple and easy. Download and print it from the Share Your Page section of your Fundraising Center once you’ve registered your child’s fundraiser.
- Share their fundraising page far and wide. Ask long distance friends and family to participate virtually by donating to your kids’ page directly.
- Suggest that your kids ask for donations instead of setting specific prices. They can tell their customers to donate any amount to get a lemonade.
