Some behind the scenes clips from yesterday’s amazing bed build with @mihomes and @shphilliard @shpbeds ! 🛏️💛 60 beds built by our 83 volunteers of all ages along with pillows and blankets will be given to local kids who are currently sleeping on the floor. The kindness and determination that our lemonade community brings to every event never ceases to amaze us at Payton’s Lemonade Stand. 🍋 ...
Incredible work was done today!! 👏 Payton’s Lemonade Stand teamed up with M/I Homes, Inc. and Sleep in Heavenly Peace and, together, we built 60 brand new beds for local kids who currently sleep on the floor. But, it didn’t stop there. We also decorated pillow cases and assembled fleece blankets to go with the beds when they are delivered. It was a lot of sanding, drilling, hammering, staining, etc. but we all worked together with one goal in mind – to help kids facing hardships. 🍋 Every kid deserves the luxury of sleeping in their own bed, and after today, 60 more kids will have that luxury.
Special thanks to our amazing team of volunteers, Jersey Mike's for providing our volunteers with a delicious lunch and Sam's Club for providing the kids with an ice cream treat!! 💛 ...
We had the pleasure of celebrating our dear friends at @queencitybookbank tonight! We celebrated their delivery of their 200th little free library, their 2nd anniversary and their 200,000th book distributed!! Incredible work being done by this team to help with literacy and we are so proud!!📚🍋 ...

Our Community Serving Kids program continues to have a big impact!! 🙌 Just last month, we delivered over 4,000 pounds of needed items to 5 different local nonprofits – incredible! 🍋 Included in the 4,000 pounds was over 1,000 rolls of Bounty paper towels. These are especially appreciated by food pantries, like @stleothegreatchurch , because paper products aren’t covered by food assistance programs. Thank you, lemonade community, for helping us to make a difference! 💛

We recently met Jason when he came out with Channel Five to cover Payton’s 6th Annual Lemonade Stand this past July. Not only did Jason provide a beautiful story (with @meredithstutz , of course!) in the week leading up to the event, but he also showed up on the actual day of the event (on his day off!!) and created this beautiful video for us. 💛 Thank you, Jason, for going above and beyond your duties and providing us with something we’ll not only treasure, but something that we’ll be able to use for years to come. 🍋 ...
Last night, we had the pleasure of meeting up with the Pachuta family and the @norwood_iaff_445 Norwood Fire Dept to present them with the award for being the top grossing fire department for our 6th Annual Payton’s Lemonade Stand in July. 🍋 But, this celebration felt extra special… You see, Grant and his family could only read about last year’s lemonade event because they were in the hospital where Grant was recovering from burns sustained in a devastating house fire just weeks prior. They were facing some of their darkest days not knowing what the outcome would be for their sweet Grant.
Fast forward one year, and a lot of effort put forth by Grant and his medical team, and Grant was able to physically join the Norwood fire department this summer in hosting a lemonade stand!! Oh, and he kicked butt bringing in over $3,400 to help support other kids facing hardships!!! Amazing! We are so proud of you, Grant! 💛 And we are so thankful for the incredible Norwood Fire Department who does so much for our community including running a nonprofit of their own!!
Special thanks to all of the fire departments who participated this year – Hebron, Delhi, West Chester and Norwood!! You’re all winners in our eyes! 🚒😊 ...
We wanted to give a big shoutout to our summer host, Samantha! For the second year in a row, she proposed her school have an out of uniform day to benefit Payton’s Lemonade Stand. 🍋 This is such a great (and easy!) way for kids to help other kids. Thank you, Samantha! And thank you to the generous staff and students at @mother_teresa_catholic in Liberty Township! 💛 Your students truly make a difference for kids facing hardships.

For 365 days, Payton’s Lemonade Stand has been able to provide a safe and private space for families staying at the @rmhcincinnati . A place only for them. A place they can call home.
We recently received the yearly report for our room from our friends at RMH. They shared the average length of stay, how many families were accommodated by Room 3101, and how many miles one family traveled. 💛 Because of your generous donations, we are so excited to announce that we’ll be providing this much needed space for another 365 days!
It is so heartwarming to know that so many families have been able to call Room 3101 "home" while they are receiving expert care for their child. While these families have so many things on their plates, we are happy to relieve one bit of stress so they can focus on what matters most - their family.
"Thank you for everything you do for our family. The rooms are so clean and feel just like home when we can't be! Your kindness warms our hearts during these hard visits." - Durham Family

Last week, we popped into Northgate Park Senior Living Community so that we could personally thank these wonderful senior residents for being a part of our 6th Annual Payton’s Lemonade Stand last month. 🍋 Hearing their stories about how much they loved participating was so heartwarming. As Martha, their Activities Director, states, “this opportunity just added to our list of making our seniors feel they made a difference and had a purpose within our local community”. We are so happy they joined the lemonade team and we can’t wait to have them back as hosts again next summer! 💛
PS. It just so happens that we popped in during their happy hour party, so of course the girls had to get in on the karaoke action! 🎤😆 ...
Comfort items are headed to students in Springfield, Ohio, tonight. 🍋💛 Thank you @meredithstutz from @wlwt5 for sharing ways to help those families affected by last week’s tragedy. ...
We wanted to give a BIG shoutout to @mndcougars senior, Annala Fricke, for heading up the book collection component for our 6th Annual Payton’s Lemonade Stand! 📚️ Annala helped us collect over 6,000 books for a wonderful local nonprofit, @queencitybookbank ! But it didn’t end there. She picked up what felt like ten truck loads of books, took inventory of each and every single book and then transported all of them to Queen City Book Bank. 🙌 She then recruited a team of volunteers to help her sort through and categorize all 6,000+ books. In addition to all of that, she also helped with an organization project at QCBB where she designed, created and laminated signage to be used for the book shelves. This was a HUGE undertaking with a lot of heavy lifting and we are so proud of Annala for seeing the project through. 🍋
Thank you to all who donated books at our 70 stands this year! We know these books will be cherished by so many children for years to come! 📖 ...
Our hearts were broken to hear about the devastation that occurred in Springfield, OH earlier this week. These elementary students experienced the unimaginable when their bus was clipped and flipped upside down while en route to school for their first day. Many of these students saw things no child should ever have to see. And one family endured a pain no family should ever have to endure when they were told their 11 yr old son didn’t make it. It would have been his first day of 6th grade. In an effort to provide support, we’re sending 52 comfort items to the 52 students that were on the bus that day. It is our hope that these stuffed animals will bring them some comfort and security as they begin to heal both physically and emotionally. To our Springfield friends, our hearts are with you. 💛 ...
Yesterday, we celebrated all of our incredible lemonade stand hosts at @gokirkwood – and what a FUN day it was! We lost track of how many times we heard, “this is the best day ever!”💛 We are so grateful for our hosts and their dedication to our mission. The kids you see in these pictures worked extra hard at their stands this summer so that their peers facing hardships can have one more reason to smile this year. 💛🍋
To the staff at Kirkwood, thank you! Thank you for inviting us out for the second year in a row and spoiling us all day long. It’s safe to say, everyone had a blast! 🙌 ...
It’s National Lemonade Day and we cant think of a better way to spend this day than celebrating all of our amazing hosts! Afterall, we have a lot to celebrate!! 🍋 Thank you @gokirkwood for rolling out the red carpet for our hosts today! We can’t wait to spoil these young philanthropists – they are SO deserving! 💛 ...
Last week, we had the pleasure of supporting our great friend, Harry Alexander, at his annual Golf Fore Good golf outing at @clovernookcountryclub . ⛳️ Harry’s golf outing raises money for children in need and was started after he lost both of his children, his son to muscular dystrophy and his daughter to a motorcycle accident. As you can see, the weather didn’t cooperate with us that morning, so we had to improvise! When life hands you lemons, you just go inside and make lemonade and that’s just what we did, and we had our largest amount ever raised at a golf outing! 🍋
Special thanks to @shop_charbon Shop , @riverviewdrivethru_6350 , The Matthew Mangine Foundation, @hunnashirts Hunna and our friend, Rob, for so graciously donating items for our raffle! They were a huge hit!
And a big thank you to Harry, who is also the GM of Clovernook Golf Course, for welcoming Payton’s Lemonade Stand to your course whenever the opportunity presents itself. We are so grateful for the donation you made on behalf of your organization! Those that know Harry will agree, you simply won’t find a nicer man than him. 💛 ...
As the summer starts to wind down and pools prepare to close, we wanted to provide a sweet update on the swimsuit donations we recently made. As you’ll recall, we heard from a manager of a local CRC pool who said so many kids were turned away and forced to watch their peers swim from afar each summer because they themselves didn’t have swimwear. We were heartbroken to hear this because we feel that spending hot summer days at the local pool with your friends is a luxury all kids should be afforded.
Because of your donations, we were able to provide them with plentiful brand-new suits! Now, these children are welcomed in, given a suit and are able to enjoy the pool with their peers.💛 Angel, the manager, stated that the kids just exude a newfound confidence as they come out of the bathroom proudly wearing their brand-new bathing suits. For many, it's their first! Look at those smiles! We look forward to helping these kids (and more) with their summer needs again next year! 🍋

If you missed our segment on @bigdaveshowb105 on @b105country , click “play” and take a listen! We always enjoy spending time with the B-105 team, especially when we get to announce incredible news with them! It’s crazy that 4 years ago we went on air to announce $4,000 and yesterday we got to announce the grand total of $100,000! As Payton says in the clip, “that’s a lot of zeros”! As always, thank you for your support! 💛
Also, enjoy these amazing photos from Melanie Tracy Pace, owner of @loft3photo . Melanie traveled to various stands last Saturday to capture what our lemonade community does best - serve lemonade with a smile! 🍋 ...
Our 6th Annual Payton’s Lemonade Stand was nothing short of a sweet success!! 🍋 We’re having trouble finding words right now, but we couldn’t wait to tell you that we exceeded our goal of $100k!! 🙌 Simply amazing!! There is no other way to put it.
To our dedicated hosts, our loyal sponsors, our incredible advisory board, awesome volunteers and the most generous donors – WE DID IT!!!! To think that just five years ago we raised $800 and now we’re talking six figures! It has us speechless. We are so proud of our lemonade community! Thousands of kids facing hardships will be smiling just a little bit bigger this year because of you! 💛
