Lemonade Stand vs. Childhood Cancer
Abby spearheaded Coram Deo’s effort to raise money for childhood cancer. She heard of Alex’s Lemonade Stand and saw Nevada wasn’t representing so she took it upon herself to make it happen. The lemonade stand got a brief blip on a local tv station and written up in the Reno-Gazette Journal.
Around $1500 was raised between the stand and the online giving. In fact donations are still coming online. Here’s the link if you want to donate. Donate to Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
Here’s a little known fact. She asked me what the financial goal should be. Two or three thousand maybe? If we get businesses involved, I told her, we should for something like $10,000. Let’s just go for it.
We discovered that business aren’t that excited about giving money. Stuff is easier to donate for them. So there’s the the lesson if you’re trying to get businesses to help you save the world. Get them to give services or products that you can use or sell or raffle off.

I hope that didn’t sound rude, I meant it to be punny.
