Lemonade for Love is a lemonade stand with a sweet twist! This child-driven, parent-supported fundraising event focuses on kids helping kids. Lemonade for Love started in 2014 as a small lemonade stand in a front yard in Etobicoke. It has since grown into a well-attended community event held each June at Fairfield Park in Etobicoke. This year marks their 10th anniversary, a significant milestone!

To date, Lemonade for Love has raised and reinvested over $200,000 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 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 Saturday, June 21st, 2025, from 9am–12pm at Fairfield Park.
