LEMONADE STANDS FOR SIMON IN 2006

Updated May 8, 2006.

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

Upcoming event!

Simon on Lemons

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!
