If you love making home-made lemonade and supporting your community, consider hosting a lemonade stand for Good Lemonade Day coming up on June 8.
All Prestige Hotels across BC are taking part, and Rossland’s Prestige Hotel General Manager, Jesse Steele, hopes you will too.
“Its an initiative to raise money for JoeAnna’s House which helps host families which need to go to Kelowna Hospital.” said Jesse.
“Lots of families in our area have benefited from JoeAnna’s house, so it’s a good time to give back.”
Heading to its third year, the fundraiser has raised over $17,000 to help Kootenay and BC families save costs at their home-away-from-home.
“Families stay at the house for free and it’s a great promotion that Prestige Hotels run and every Prestige property in British Columbia will be having a lemonade stand on June 8th and hoping lots other people join in or stop by.”
All participants that host a stand on June 8 will receive a free Good Lemonade Day starter pack that includes two one-of-a-kind t-shirts, lemonade mix, balloons and a sign.
All participants will also be given the opportunity to create an online fundraising page and sell virtual glasses of lemonade to maximize their efforts.
Registration for this event is now open and closes on May 10.
