The Lemony Lemonaders Lemonade Stand

Our kids are so excited to take part in Lemonade Stand Day, again his year, in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital! They’ve been busy planning with the goal of making a difference for kids and families in our community. It’s a fun way for them to learn about teamwork, giving back, and the power of kindness—one cup at a time.

Proceeds from this year’s Simply Supper’s Lemonade Stand Day will support patient and family-centred care at the Stollery Children’s Hospital with the purchase of bedside caregiver cots.

When kids come to the Stollery, they don’t come alone. Parents and caregivers accompany children to the Hospital, and, often, these support people remain by their side for the duration of their stay. Currently, many of these caregivers must choose between spending their nights sleeping in chairs or making the difficult decision to leave their child’s side overnight.

The purchase of caregiver cots for multiple units at the Stollery will allow caregivers to stay close to their child, alleviating anxiety and creating a sense of security for both the caregiver and the young patient. The cots will also allow caregivers to collaborate closely with the health-care team during the child’s stay and reduce the financial burden on families who would need to find accommodations nearby.

Your support will make a life-changing difference for kids and their families who rely on the Stollery’s world-class care
