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 Payton’s 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!
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.

Moments like these are why we do what we do! Last night at Bethany House’s Anniversary Cookout, we served ice-cold lemonade to kids and families experiencing homelessness and got the sweetest surprise: seeing little ones confidently rocking swimsuits donated through our Birthday Bundle Campaign! 🩱✨ Watching their smiles as they splashed, played games, and enjoyed the evening with confidence made every bit of hard work worth it.
Their smiles, full of confidence and joy are because of YOU. And on Saturday, July 26th, you have another chance to make an impact at the 8th Annual Payton’s Lemonade Stand! 🍋 Every dollar raised helps bring joy, confidence, and hope to kids who need it most. Mark your calendars and come out for a cup of kindness!

This morning, some of our amazing summer hosts spent time giving back at Hopeful Pastures and learning firsthand how their lemonade stand efforts make a difference! 💛
They discovered how this special organization brings hope and healing to vulnerable children and families through animal-assisted interventions, mentorship, and guided lessons.
Then it was time to roll up their sleeves! From weeding garden beds and sanding baseboards to giving the well-loved playroom a much-needed refresh, these kids got a lot done! And of course, no trip to the farm is complete without a few sweet cuddles from the animals 🐐🐷🐰
We’re so proud of their hearts for service and the impact they’re making one cup of lemonade at a time! 🍋

🎄🍋 It’s Christmas in July, and we’re bringing a little holiday magic to summer giving!
Our friends at Blake PT Associates, longtime supporters of Payton`s Lemonade Stand, are celebrating 43 incredible years in business—and what better way to celebrate than by giving back? 🙌
For their anniversary, they’ve brought our Lemon Giving Tree back to life, and it’s sweeter than ever! This special tree will benefit Tabitha’s Closet, a local nonprofit that provides essential clothing to families in need.
The tree is collecting:
👕 Specific clothing sizes for kids.
🎁 Gift cards to help provide meals.
🧸 Toys to help transform the playroom—giving kids a space to play while their parents "shop" for essentials.
We’re so excited to see the joy and impact this initiative will bring to our community. 💛
