The Big Squeeze: Kids to Help Kids With Lemonade Stands

Welcome to The 3rd Annual When Life Gives You Lemons Make Lemonade Stand Project. Each year, volunteer hosts — many of them children — set up lemonade stands across Southern California during Big Sunday weekend and sell lemonade to benefit five local children’s charities.

This year, on May 2 and 3, Big Sunday lemonade stands will raise money for the Los Angeles Times Summer Camp Campaign, which offers scholarships to low-income children; Para Los Ninos, which provides educational and direct services to low-income families; Shane’s Inspiration, which builds accessible playgrounds for children with disabilities; Mothers Against Drunk Driving – Orange County Chapter, which supports programs to stop drunk driving and prevent underage drinking; and the Young Storytellers Foundation, a writing program that helps low-income school children develop literacy, self-expression and self-esteem. Each lemonade stand chooses one of the five charities to support.

The Big Sunday lemonade stands are set up at the end of driveways, in schools, in parks, at farmer’s markets, in malls and at other locations far and wide. Here is a list of most — though not all — of this year’s stands.

Whatever else you are doing on Big Sunday weekend, please make sure to stop by and have a cup or two or three of lemonade at one of the following locations:
