Want to make an impact this summer? Host a lemonade stand to benefit kids impacted by foster care in our community!

Prizes:

The team that raises the most money will receive:

Grand Prize - $200

2nd place - $150

3rd place - $100

Most Open Hours - $50

Special thanks to our sponsors, Grand Prize - Washington Green Spa & Wellness, Second Place - Main Street Real Estate, 3rd Place - Suzanne Koelling with Mary Kay Cosmetics and Most Open Hours - Heart & Heritage Acacdemy for donating our prize money!

Rules:

1. Each participant must register as a TEAM MEMBER by clicking "Fundraise" above. Each Team will be entered to win prizes! This platform will keep track of how much each team has raised, and enable teams to accept credit/debit cards, Venmo and PayPal. After your team has signed up, you will receive a link to the "Team Member Materials" which will need to be printed in order to participate.

2. Team Members must be ages 6-18 years old to participate and have a sponsoring adult over age 25. The "Sponsoring Adult" may sign up using their email address and may help their kids with the stand, but the prize money and tips must go to the child or children running the stand. Each sponsoring adult is responsible for making sure the kids are safe, help them gather supplies/follow recipes and deposit the cash proceeds to their team via the GiveButter platform.

3. "Virtual cups" ARE allowed. Be sure to post cute pictures and share your team name (and link) to get credit for family and friends who show support online.

4. Each stand must display the "Official Stand" flyer or "Table Tent" from the Team Member Materials found here:

(Simply fold the table tents on the grey lines, tape or staple them and weigh them down from the wind!)

5. To be entered to win the "Most Open Hours" the "Open Hours Tracker" from the Team Member Materials must be completed with the sponsoring adult initialing each day. Hours must be submitted via email to franklincofostercloset@gmail.com by Noon August 12th with "Lemonade Wars Open Hours" in the memo line.

6. War ends on August 11th. Winners will be notified August 12th and prizes will be given out at the Foster Closet on August 13th at 6pm.

7. Expenses - expenses can include cost of supplies (cups, ice, lemonade mix, basic pitchers, stirring spoon and table cloth.) Use the "Cash Proceeds Worksheet" in the "Team Member Materials" to record expenses and to determine cash proceeds. Cash proceeds should be credited to the team via the GiveButter platform by the "sponsoring adult." Please make a deposit equal to the cash proceeds (and keep the cash as reimbursement for expenses and the deposit.) ***This step is really up to each team, some teams may wish to donate the expenses rather than track them and that is ok.***

Recommendations:

1. Share a picture of your lemonade stand online along with your fundraiser link so family and friends who live further away can contribute!

2. Make an apron, t-shirt or hat! Pick up an iron on transfer at the Foster Closet Tuesday or Thursday 10am-2pm and get a complimentary tour so you can tell your donors about us!

3. Have FUN!!!

4. Think outside the box. There is no requirement that this happens at your home. Think of where your stand may get more traffic! Consider reading the book "Lemonade War" by Jacqueline Davies for inspiration.

Our hope is to fight boredom, encourage entrepreneurship & philanthropy, friendly competition and FUN!

We can't wait to see what our community kids can do!
