Carmen's Team Pick: This Lemonade Stand

Carmen’s Team Pick: This Lemonade Stand

Apr 18, 2011

There’s been a lot of money talk here lately, so let me just go out on a limb and say that I think Autostraddle needs money and loves you. But your fellow Autostraddlers also love you, and the world, enough to sell you lemonade. You heard me right, victims of unseasonally warm weather! LEMONADE.

Autostraddlers in New York City are going to be selling lemonade like cute little girls do, with a lemonade stand, on April 23 to raise money for pediatric cancer research and care. Have you ever heard of Alex’s Lemonade? It’s an organization that helps people across the country do this, every day, for the same cause: ending cancer.

So if you like lemonade (who doesn’t), or Autostraddle (who doesn’t), or Autostraddlers serving you lemonade (WHO DOESN’T), you should probably check it out:

WHEN:
4/23/11, 9:00 am – 7:00 pm
WHERE:
South Street Seaport
11 Fulton Street
New York, NY 10038

The goal is to raise 3,000 dollars. You should really go! And if you can’t you can still donate at the event page here. You can also learn more about Alex’s Lemonade here.
