OUR MISSION
Payton’s Lemonade Stand exists to sweeten the lives of children who are facing medical, personal and economic hardships. While raising funds for these children, we strive to empower kids to participate in philanthropy. We aim to teach them the value of putting forth effort through the hosting of their lemonade stands to make the lives of children going through hardships a little bit sweeter.

Meet Payton
a little girl with a big heart
Payton is the young philanthropist with a compassionate heart behind Payton’s Lemonade Stand. What began as a simple idea has grown into a joyful movement inspiring kids and communities to give back. Through each stand, Payton proves that kindness, hard work, and a little creativity can make a meaningful difference.
Today, Payton’s Lemonade Stand continues to empower families to serve together, spread hope, and support causes that matter, one cup of lemonade at a time. Payton’s message to others is that “it only takes one person to make a difference in the world. Help others in your community, and give to those who need it most. You can be that person.
aWARDS AND MEDIA FEATURES
"It's Impossible to articulate the gratitude and appreciation we have for you.
Staying here is like staying out of town at a beloved family member's house. The room is perfect for our six-year-old autistic, mentally delayed daughter, Lenny. Without this room, we would have to be divided by 200 miles. When a room was offered to us, I too a real shower, I laid in a real bed, I ate a real home-cooked meal. It was the first time I felt some sense of peace since our arrival in Cincinnati. The RMH truly is our home away from home. We know Lenny will have a safe, clean space to be a kid!"

"we had such a blast hosting our very first Payton's Lemonade Stand this year!
Our company is new to the Hyde Park area so it was so nice talking and meeting with people that live in the community. We had a great time getting to meet all our new neighbors all while supporting an amazing cause. We are so proud to be a part of Payton's Lemonade Stand and to be helping kids in need!
