Summary
Lemonade for Love is a lemonade stand with a super-sweet twist! It is a child-driven, parent-supported fundraising event that is all about kids helping kids. Lemonade for Love began in 2014 as a small lemonade stand on a front yard in Etobicoke. It is now a well attended community event that happens each June at Fairfield Park in Etobicoke
.
To date, Lemonade for Love has raised and reinvested over $150,000 back into our local community through the #CaptainXavierFund at Silver Creek Preschool for children with special needs in Etobicoke. This fund provides scholarships to help families send their children to Silver Creek Preschool as well as offers financial support to families at Silver Creek who may need assistance with the cost of medical devices, equipment, and/or aids.
This event is championed by youth ambassadors who represent represent Lemonade for Love in the community. Please welcome this year's ambassadors to the Etobicoke York Community Council to share their presentation and invite us to the 9th annual event, which will take place this Saturday, June 24th, 2023 from 9am–12pm at Fairfield Park.
