This year, Kindness Creators is honored to be a recipient of the LemonAid fundraiser.

LemonAid was established in 2002 by neighbors on 700 Bonnie Brae in River Forest in memory of the September 11th attacks. They felt called to remember this day by doing something positive in the community, so they held a lemonade stand. Their mission is to turn lemonADE into lemonAID by raising awareness and funds for local charities that serve children.

You can participate in this event in two ways:

Attend the in-person event on the 700 block of Bonnie Brae in River Forest on 9/11/26 from 3 to 7pm. Here’s what to expect…
- Everything’s FREE after you make one donation
- Opening ceremony commemorating the 9-11 victims with remarks from co-chairs, village officials and supported charities
- Unlimited lemonade, this year courtesy of Oak Park Arms
- DJ and live music at the entertainment stage
- Family friendly, even with places to sit and relax
- Kids’ activities and storytelling from the River Forest Library
- Photo booth
