In the summer of 2018, six-year-old Payton decided she wanted to have a lemonade stand. That small, altruistic idea has grown into a community helping thousands of children facing hardships.
The mission of Paytonβs Lemonade Stand is to empower the next generation of philanthropists through kids serving kids who are facing medical, personal, and financial hardships.
To teach children altruism and philanthropy. To sweeten the lives of children going through medical, personal and economic hardships. To involve the community in giving back.
Gather your sports team, your group of friends, your neighborhood, a local business or even just yourself and host a stand!
Paytonβs Pals have been instrumental in raising funds for Paytonβs Lemonade Stand. We couldnβt do this without their invaluable help, support and dedication.
Payton's Lemonade Stand sweetens the lives of children facing medical, personal or economic hardship
We had the great pleasure of being able to support a new friend of ours tonight and wait until you hear her story - it's one you'll want to read! Mary Pat works at the College Hill Campus of CCHMC. She works with youth who need both inpatient/outpatient care for significant behavioral health issues. Many of these youth come from extremely broken homes and arrive to her with very little clothing to call their own. This can be especially heartbreaking when they leave (many to a foster home) with nothing to take with them. Imagine the lack of self worth they must feel.
Mary Pat took it upon herself and created a thrift store within the College Hill facility that is stocked with brand new items (i.e. sweatshirts, sweatpants, pajamas, socks, underwear, bras, etc.) that is run by the patients themselves, how cool is that? Mary Pat uses her own time and money to fundraise outside of her working hours so that she can keep the thrift store stocked. She does this all outside of work! π
When we heard her plea, we knew we needed to help! You'll find that many of our giving trees this year have items on them that will help stock the thrift store. Many are adult sizes because they are for the teens. So many teens need us this holiday season (from many different organizations we'll be supporting) and we're going to make sure they get taken care of in a big way! π
We snuck into her fundraiser tonight and were able to present Mary Pat with a $500 gift card to Lane Bryant so she can shop for brand new bras for the teen girls, many of whom don't even own one. She says the confidence these young girls exude when they are given a brand new bra will bring tears to your eyes.
We are so proud of you, Mary Pat! We can't wait to see what we collect for you so you can help the teens who need it most.
If you aren't able to grab a tag, you can shop for many of Mary Pat's requested items via our Amazon Wishlist - bit.ly/LemonGivingTree π

Great job Mary Pat!! β€οΈβ€οΈ You truly make a difference in people’s lives π©·π©·
Great job! Wonderful organization!
We can't let another day go by without thanking our amazing village for working so tirelessly to help us with all of the tedious lemon tree details that go on behind the scenes. π A HUGE shout out to members of Seton Helping Saints club for helping us to make an insane amount of tags, to volunteers Laura and Claudia (and DannoπΎ) for cutting and tying an endless amount of ribbon, to Dondi for making us more beautiful bow toppers and to Payton's grammy for making more tree skirts! Now, we're off to deliver and decorate 36 trees! The fun is just beginning! π
