We would love for you to get involved and experience the true joy in giving back.

Our Story

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.

Our Mission

The mission of Payton’s Lemonade Stand is to empower the next generation of philanthropists through kids serving kids who are facing medical, personal, and financial hardships.

Our Goals

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.

Host A Stand

Gather your sports team, your group of friends, your neighborhood, a local business or even just yourself and host a stand!

Payton's Pals

Payton’s Pals have been instrumental in raising funds for Payton’s Lemonade Stand. We couldn’t do this without their invaluable help, support and dedication.

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! πŸ’› ⁠
⁠
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! πŸ‹β 
⁠
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 πŸŽ„β

We are simply over the moon to finally be able to share something we`ve been recently working on. We teamed up with our partner, Matthew 25 Ministries, and Josh Emerson from Neusquire and created a video capturing the impact that our Community Serving Kids Program has had on kids and families here locally.

We hope you`ll take a quick two minutes to watch and see just how impactful and needed this program is. And, when you choose to give this holiday season, we hope you`ll consider giving to Payton`s Lemonade Stand so that we can continue to do the important work that we do. πŸ‹πŸ’›

We cant 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. πŸ‹ 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 Danno🐾) for cutting and tying an endless amount of ribbon, to Dondi for making us more beautiful bow toppers and to Paytons grammy for making more tree skirts!  Now, were off to deliver and decorate 36 trees!  The fun is just beginning! πŸŽ„
