C&C Lemonade Factory Benefits All Children’s

Join sisters Caroline and Charlotte Gallagher for the C&C Lemonade Factory, Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. This annual event, now in its 9th year, raises money to support cancer research at John Hopkins All Children’s Hospital.

Caroline, who is now in remission, was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 18 months old. Each summer she and her sister, helped by Mom and Dad, set up a lemonade stand in their own front yard at 6312 Dartmouth Avenue N., St. Petersburg. Along with lemonade there will be activities for kids, including face painting and balloon art, popcorn and raffles. 100% of all lemonade and raffle sales will be donated to the hospital.
