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

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.

2. Team Members must be under 18 years old 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 split between the 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.

5. War begins at the May Sunset on the Riverfront and ends at the July Sunset on the Riverfront. Winners will be announced at the Foster Closet at the beginning of August.

6. Expenses - If you want your kiddos to keep track of expenses, 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:

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

*Have FUN!!!

*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, with FUN and friendly competition.

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